That legacy is captured on this 99.99% pure gold coin, which invites you to step into the Library’s grand reading room, often called Canada’s most beautiful room. The design draws the eye upward, past the statue of Queen Victoria to the soaring dome that crowns this richly ornamented space. Framed by intricate woodwork and bathed in light—here, a rich golden gleam—the jewel of Parliament Hill is a space that continues to inspire wonder.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCelebrating 150 years beneath the dome.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpanning 47.2 metres in diameter, the wrought iron frame of the Library of Parliament’s dome was the first of its kind in Canada when the Library opened 150 years ago, in 1876.
