Silver Bar Coin Canada: CN Tower 50th Anniversary $20 Silver 2026 Proof

Silver Bar-Shaped Coin Canada: CN Tower 50th Anniversary $20 Silver 2026 Proof is a collector issue prepared by the Royal Canadian Mint to mark the 50th anniversary of the opening of the famous CN Tower in Toronto—one of the most recognizable symbols of Canada and for years the world’s tallest freestanding structure.

The piece is struck in .9999 fine silver (Ag) with a weight of 31.56 g. It has a rectangular shape measuring 49.8 × 28.6 mm, echoing the tower’s slender silhouette. The coin carries a face value of 20 Canadian dollars and is finished to Proof standard. The mintage is limited to 7,500 pieces. The set includes a special UV flashlight that reveals an additional visual effect of the design. The coin is offered in an elegant mint case.

The reverse design highlights the symbolic significance of the CN Tower as one of the key landmarks of the Toronto skyline and as the place from which millions of visitors have viewed the city from 346 meters above—the height of the main observation deck.

Obverse features a portrait of King Charles III by Steven Rosati, along with the issuing country’s name and the face value.

Reverse, designed by Steve Hepburn, depicts the CN Tower and the Toronto skyline in a composition inspired by an architectural sketchbook—with various perspectives of the view from the observation deck. Under UV light, the design reveals an additional effect: the CN Tower illuminated in Canada’s colors, recreating the characteristic nighttime view of the tower lighting up the cityscape.
