1992 (1867-1992) Canadian $1 Parliament/Confederation 125th Anniv Proof Loonie Dollar Coin

A second Canadian dollar coin was designed in 1992 utilizing Rita Swanson's design featuring three children with a Canadian flag on Parliament Hill in commemoration of Canada's 125th birthday. Note the clock on the Peace Tower reads 1:25. Situated on the cliffs above the Ottawa River, the Parliament Buildings are one of Canada's most recognizable and historically remarkable building complexes.

Design

The reverse, designed by Rita Swanson, features three children with a Canadian flag in front of the Parliament Hill. It is difficult to see but the Peace Tower in the background sports a clock which is set at the time “1:25” which one can assume is another representation for 125 years. Just below the building in the right hand corner are the designer's initials "RS".

The obverse, designed by Dora de Pedery Hunt, was the same as the previous Loonie series with the exception of a dual date (the date on normal dollar coins is on the reverse).
