Description
140th Anniversary of the Library of Parliament
Built in the Gothic Revival style of the 19th century, the Library of Parliament is one of Canada’s shining architectural jewels and has been described as our most beautiful room. Inside the circular building, ornate woodwork and a breathtaking dome speak of its artistic merit, its cultural importance, and its historic heritage as the only remaining link to the first Centre Block of Parliament, which was destroyed by fire in 1916.
The reverse design boasts an astonishing level of dimension and depth through the use of the coin’s concave shape, which lends itself beautifully to recreating the Library of Parliament’s lavish interior and domed ceiling. A unique viewing perspective from the base of the marble statue of Queen Victoria immerses the viewer in the artwork, conveying the reading room’s soaring height and spaciousness while creating the impression that theyare on-site, looking upward at the ceiling. The intricately carved pine bookshelves that encircle the reading room are replicated on the reverse along the rim, further contributing to the 360-degree viewing experience. Finally, the application of a timeless antique finish to theultra high relief engraving showcases the meticulous precision and masterful artistry that makes this coin a numismatic masterpiece. Beneath the statue, a banner features the engraved commemorative dates “1876-2016” of the opening of the library; but 2016 also commemorates the 100th year of when the library survived the 1916 fire at the Parliament.

Quoi dire de plus que le titre de ce commentaire. C'est possiblement la plus belle pièce qui m'a été donné d'acheter et dont j'ai l'honneur, maintenant, de posséder. J'ai commandé cette pièce sur leur site internet avec livraison à la maison. Celle-ci est arrivée sans problème ou endommagé. Je n'hésite pas à recommander cette méthode qui est "SAFE" et rapide. |
