Supreme Justices Loonie 150 Anniversary

Supreme Court of Canada Building The home of the Supreme Court of Canada is located just west of Parliament Hill in Ottawa. Designed by Ernest Cormier, construction began in 1939. Due to the Second World War, it wasn’t until 1946 that the Court took possession of the building and heard its first case there. Today, it is not only a place of legal importance; the building is a symbol of Canada's commitment to justice and serving Canadians. Justitia and Veritas Two bronze statues stand outside the Supreme Court of Canada building, Justitia and Veritas (Latin for Justice and Truth). The statues were created by Walter S. Allward, the same artist who designed and sculpted the Canadian National Vimy Memorial in France. Stored and forgotten for almost 50 years, the statues were only installed in their current location in 1970. Commemorative Logo The Supreme Court of Canada’s 150th commemorative logo is derived from the Court’s historic badge known as the Cormier Emblem which, like the Supreme Court of Canada building itself, was created by Montréal architect Ernest Cormier. Here are what the elements of the logo express: Laurels: Signify growth, with new leaves symbolizing the Court’s continuous development and expansion into future generations. The nine laurel leaves represent the nine judges of the Supreme Court of Canada. Double dates (1875 – 2025): Commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Court’s creation. The Supreme Court of Canada was officially established as the highest court in the country when it was enshrined by the Supreme Court Act, 1875. Interwoven 150 numerals: Symbolize the dualities of bijuralism and bilingualism (the Court hears and decides cases from Canada’s two legal traditions and in both official languages) that make Canada’s top court the only bilingual and bijural apex court in the world. The shapes of the numbers reflect both the Court’s crest and its heraldic traditions. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, designed by Steven Rosati. The Royal Canadian Mint cherishes its unique ability to circulate coins that celebrate the values that are most dear to Canada and Canadians, and that includes honouring the institutions that protect our rights as Canadian citizens. We are very proud to recognize the Supreme Court of Canada which, after impartially and independently upholding the rule of law and the constitutional order for the last 150 years, has given Canadians the immense privilege of living in a society that aspires to freedom, fairness and equality. source https://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins-...
