2026 $20 Library of Parliament 150th Anniversary One-Ounce Fine Silver Coin

Bring Canadian history and exceptional architecture to life with this 2026 $20 one-ounce fine silver coin marking the 150th anniversary of the Library of Parliament. Rising up from Parliament Hill in our nation's capital—and from this coin's surface, thanks to ultra high relief (UHR)—the Library of Parliament has stood as a beacon of democracy and learning since 1876. Its iconic dome and ornate stonework withstood the devastating fire of 1916, enduring as the sole surviving piece of the original Centre Block building. Today, beneath the gaze of the iconic Peace Tower, the library stands as an architectural marvel that continues to inspire Canadians on its 150th anniversary; it is a living testament to our shared pursuit of knowledge, democratic values and cultural memory.

The coin presents a view of the Library of Parliament, located at the rear of the Centre Block building on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario. The historic octagonal stone building is highlighted by UHR, which draws attention to its ornate High Victorian Gothic Revival architectural style. Selective colour also adds a profusion of fall colours to the scene, highlighting both the tree-covered bluff that rises from the Ottawa River and the maple leaves (above) that frame the view. Above the scroll banner, an open book displays the dates "1876" and "2026," commemorating the library's 150th anniversary. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
