10 oz. Pure Silver Gold-Plated Coin - Keepers of Parliament: The Lion - Mintage: 750 (2018)

The fourth coin and final coin circles back to where it began, at the ceremonial entrance to Parliament, where all who wish to enter must do so under the watchful eye of a fiercely regal animal guardian. Standing guard with its unicorn counterpart, the lion Keeper of Parliament has stood at the west side of the sandstone-lined entrance since 1938. The 1.8-metre tall carving is based on the lion supporter of the Arms of Canada and the Royal Arms, and was sculpted by a team of carvers who worked under the direction of the first Dominion Sculptor of Canada, Cléophas Soucy. The Centre Block’s stately, roaring lion is the last of our featured Keepers of Parliament. The lion rules your selectively gold-plated 10 oz. silver coin, where its very finely engraved likeness is an incomparable tribute to the enduring legacy of Canada’s parliamentary carvers.
