2016 Canada 1 Dollar 2-oz Silver Parliament NGC PF70UCAM Early Releases

Marking the 140^th Anniversary of an Ottawa Landmark

Parliament Hill in Ottawa has long served as the home of the country’s primary governing body, and in 1876, the Library of Parliament was constructed to serve as that body’s primary information and research resource. The Library’s main branch, which is depicted on this coin, stands at the back of Parliament Hill’s Centre Block and is the final untouched part of the original building that remains after a fire burned other parts in 1916. The striking building is a Canadian landmark that is so important that it appears on Canada’s $10 note. This coin celebrates the building in all of its glory with a gilt design that accentuates every aspect of its design.
