The Library of Parliament is one of Canada's greatest architectural treasures and it is brought to life in fine detail on this fine silver collectable coin with convex shape and antique colouring. The Library is the only remaining section of the original Centre Block that was destroyed by fire in 1916, and continues to hold visitors spellbound as they gaze up at its massive domed ceiling and elaborate woodwork. The extraordinary dome earned the Library the distinction of being the first building in North America to feature an iron structure for this design element.
