2025 $1 Supreme Court of Canada 150th Anniversary Special Wrap Roll (Non-Colourized)

In 2025, the Supreme Court of Canada marks the 150th anniversary of its creation (on April 8, 1875), a significant milestone commemorated on the $1 coins contained in each Special Wrap Roll. Inside every Non-colourized Special Wrap Roll, all 25 coins bear the same engraved design that honours the Court’s history and its continuing contributions to Canada’s legal landscape and democracy, specifically its role in upholding the rule of law, building public trust, and serving Canadians.

The reverse design by Canadian artist Silvia Pecota features a front view of the Supreme Court of Canada Building, located just west of the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa, Ontario. Beneath the maple leaf laser mark is the Court’s 150th commemorative logo; derived from the Court’s historic badge known as the Cormier Emblem, the commemorative logo consists of a semi-circle of laurels representing the nine judges and the Court’s work, with the leaves expanding around the circle to signify growth. While the double dates (“1875 – 2025”) commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Court’s creation, the interwoven “150” numerals reflect the Court’s commitment to legal accessibility and inclusivity, and the dualities of bijuralism (common law and civil law) and bilingualism (English and French) that make Canada’s top court globally unique. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
