Guardian of our constitution. Protector of our rights and freedoms. Since 1875, the Supreme Court of Canada has been making important decisions that affect the lives of all Canadians. From civil rights to social policies and personal freedoms, its independent and impartial rulings have a profound impact on our nation and provide the legal foundation for the strong and democratic country we know today.

In honour of the 150th anniversary of the Supreme Court of Canada, the new $1 circulation coin serves as a shining tribute to its unwavering dedication to the rule of law, and its service to Canadians—past, present, and future.

The Supreme Court of Canada sits at the top of the country’s judicial branch and is the court of final appeal—meaning it is the ultimate authority on all legal matters. It operates separately from other government branches, and in doing so the Court maintains judicial independence and impartiality—fundamental to the framework of a democratic society.

As the last stop on a case's journey through the legal system, the Court hears appeals from lower provincial, territorial, and federal courts. By interpreting the Constitution, including the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and following the rule of law in a fair and consistent manner, the Court’s resulting decisions set a precedent for all lower courts to follow—ensuring stability and consistency in the judicial system nationwide.

Designed by Kingston, Ontario-based artist Silvia Pecota, the reverse design of the coin features one of Canada’s most important institutions: the Supreme Court of Canada, with its building, adorned with the Court’s 150th commemoration logo in the foreground. The intricate elements enriching the coin tell the story of the Court’s unwavering dedication to the rule of law, and its service to all Canadians—past, present, and future.

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.
