Featured on this 2006 $20 coin struck in one ounce of pure silver, the Pengrowth Saddledome marks the third release in the Royal Canadian Mint’s Architectural Treasures photographic hologram collection.

Rooted in the spirit of the West, the Pengrowth Saddledome mirrors Alberta's heritage with its saddle-like silhouette, making it the perfect home for the world famous Calgary Stampede. The Saddledome features a distinctive concave roof that reduces interior volume by more than 30% compared to traditional arenas, creating an intimate atmosphere for a 20,000-seat venue. Built to host the Calgary Flames and the 1988 Winter Olympic Games, it was the first major North American venue engineered with an international-standard hockey rink. Today, the award-winning landmark stands as Calgary's signature skyline feature, anchoring western culture while welcoming the future of Canadian sports and entertainment.
