2016 Library of Parliament Renewed Big Dollar
Coin #2 Pure .9999 Silver 2 oz
Mintage Only 2,500
- SECOND COIN IN SERIES! The second coin in our "renewed silver dollar" series celebrating historic proof dollar designs. This coin features Walter Ott's highly detailed image of the Library of Parliament and the original obverse tiara effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by British artist and sculptor Arnold Machin.
- One coin, four important anniversaries: The 140th anniversary of the completion of Canada's Library of Parliament in 1876; the 40th anniversary of the 1876-1976 silver proof dollar celebrating the Library of Parliament's centennial; the 10th anniversary of the conservation, rehabilitation, and upgrade of the Library of Parliament; and the 100th anniversary of the 1916 fire that gutted the Centre Block of Parliament Hill, sparing only the Library itself.
- LOW MINTAGE OF ONLY 2,500! An exceptionally low mintage of only 2,500 coins means this 2 oz. coin will be highly sought after.
