Description du revers Inspired by Walter S. Allward’s statues Ivstitia (Justice) and Veritas (Truth) that stand vigil over the front steps of the Supreme Court of Canada building in Ottawa, this coin features 3D allegorical personifications of Justice and Truth standing on a podium with the letters “SC” (for “Supreme Court”)—a nod to the Cormier Emblem, the Supreme Court’s historic badge, on the institution’s 150ᵗʰ anniversary. The emblem also inspired the laurel wreath along the inner ring that encircles Truth and Justice, with Justice extending her arm to support Truth while holding forth the Sword of Justice. On the outer ring, laurel branches unfurl around the figures, protecting and emboldening them to fulfill their purpose. A scroll banner bears the words “JUSTITIA ET VERITAS”—the Court’s motto and the name of the allegories, which are also visible on the obverse, where the diamond shape formed by nine lozenges (each bearing a maple leaf) represents the Court of nine judges, and is inspired by the Court’s badge.
