About
Sky-high Canadian pride: Celebrate 50 years of the CN Tower.
By day, its silhouette inspires; by night, it lights up Toronto’s heart. Celebrate 50 years of the CN Tower’s official opening and experience its dual beauty with this fine silver coin, which shifts from a sky-high view to that of an illuminated Tower under black light! Spanning 50 years of innovation and engineering excellence, the reverse design invites you to see the city through the eyes of those who have gazed from the Main Observation Level, the most visited viewing platform at 346 metres high. Under black light (included), the image reveals another view familiar to anyone who’s ever looked up in awe—the CN Tower colourfully aglow, painting Toronto’s night sky with the spirit of Canada itself.
Experience the views, the lights.

Design & Artist
Reverse
Steve Hepburn
Obverse
Steven Rosati
The reverse design by Canadian artist Steve Hepburn features the CN Tower at its centre, bordered by neighbouring architecture in the foreground and set against a stylized collage of different views from the Tower’s observation deck. The years “1976” and “2026” commemorate the 50th anniversary of its opening to the public. Under UV black light, the CN Tower is illuminated in Canada’s national colours—red and white—and shines as a proud emblem of Toronto, a testament to Canadian engineering, and a beacon of national pride. The obverse features an encircling line pattern echoing the CN Tower’s vertical rise and Toronto’s dynamic skyline, and the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
