There is a new coin that you can find in your change soon.
It features blue and white accents, along with an engraving of a Canadian landmark in Ottawa.
On April 8, 2025, the Royal Canadian Mint announced a new $1 coin commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Supreme Court of Canada.
It honours the court's role in upholding and interpreting Canada's laws and constitution, and protecting the rights and freedoms of Canadians.
This Canadian coin was designed by Ontario-based artist Silvia Pecota.
It features an engraving of the exterior façade of the Supreme Court of Canada building that's in Ottawa. Construction began in 1939, but the building wasn't used until 1946 because of World War II.
The coin also includes the two bronze statues that stand outside the Supreme Court of Canada: Justitia and Veritas (Latin for "Justice and Truth").
These statues were forgotten in storage for almost 50 years before they were discovered and placed at the court in 1970.
On this coin, the 150th-anniversary logo is overlaid on the front steps of the Supreme Court of Canada.
It's a dark blue circle with the inscription "150" that has a white laurel leaf branch stemming from it, signifying growth and the nine judges of the court.
Also, the anniversary years of the court — "1875—2025" — are in white at the top right of the circle.
The inscriptions "SUPREME COURT OF CANADA" and "COUR SUPRÊME DU CANADA" are on either side of the blue and white logo.

The Royal Canadian Mint has two versions of this circulation coin: the blue and white version and the entirely gold coloured version, which looks like a regular loonie.
Canada's new loonie commemorating the Supreme Court has now been put into circulation.
That means you can find the $1 coin in your change soon once banks across the country start to replenish their stocks of coins.
