About
A magnificently sculpted series that highlights Parliament's elaborate ornamental carvings! Subscribe today!
A closer look at the Peace Tower’s exteriorreveals it to be a soaring canvas for elaborate stonework that reflects Canada’s history, including the four figures that quietly watch over the ceremonial entrance. They are the stone sentinels ofParliament Hill, the chiselled protectors of Canada’s symbol of democracy. They are the Keepers of Parliament—and the focus of a new series of four 10-ounce silver coins. Beginning with the unicorn, each meticulously engraved guardian resembles its stone-carved counterpart on the selectively gold-plated reverse, which offers a new perspective on the many sculpted treasures of our Parliament Buildings.

About the first coin design:
Designed by Canadian artist Patrick Bélanger, the first coin in your subscription, the unicorn, stands before the ceremonial entrance on Parliament Hill, in Ottawa, Ont., where the unicorn supporter of the Arms of Canada is carved into the sandstone that lines theeast side of the arched entry. On the reverse, thismythical creature rises up in a way that conveys the towering height (1.8 m) of its real-life counterpart. It supports the shield of the Arms of Canada andcarries the Royal flag of France. Gold plating selectively highlights the chained coronet of crosses and fleurs-de-lis around the unicorn’s neck,and the three fleurs-de-lis on the banner. The positioning of the sculpted figure is slightly adjusted to allow the inclusion of an ornamental flourish, whose floral motif is based on a frieze that also adorns the Centre Block’s grand entrance. The reverse includes the face value, “100 DOLLARS”, and the words “CANADA 2018”. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
Packaging:
Each of your four coins is encapsulated and presented individually in Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshells with black beauty boxes.
