The final chapter in the four-part Keepers of Parliament series circles back to where it began, at the ceremonial entrance to Parliament, where a regal lion has stood guard since 1938. Like its unicorn counterpart, the lion keeper of Centre Block rules this 10 oz. coin, where its very finely engraved likeness is an incomparable tribute to Canada’s parliamentary stone carvers.
