An easy way to get—or give—both versions of Canada’s $2 CN Tower coin.

With a Commemorative Collector Keepsake Card, you get both versions of the 50^th Anniversary of the CN Tower coin—struck and colour with glow—in one complete set! The 2026 $2 commemorative circulation coin celebrates Canada’s tallest freestanding structure on the 50^th anniversary of its official opening. The colourized edition is only the second glow-in-the-dark Canadian circulation coin. Both versions, however, showcase the same engraved view of Toronto’s evolving skyline, unmistakably defined by Canada’s National Tower—a world-famous landmark that continues to shine brightly in the hearts and minds of Canadians.

Reaching for the sky: A two-coin celebration of Canada’s tallest icon.

Good to know

CN Tower turns 50. Join us in celebrating the 50^th anniversary of the opening of the CN Tower—Canada’s glowing icon that has been lighting up the Toronto skyline and Canadian hearts since 1976!

Own both versions of the $2 coin. Each Commemorative Collector Keepsake Card contains two (2) uncirculated coins: a struck (engraved only) $2 50^th Anniversary of the CN Tower coin, and a colourful glow-in-the-dark version.

A collecting highlight of 2026. Included here, the glow-in-the-dark $2 piece is destined to become one of the most talked-about coins in 2026, and a future favourite among those who appreciate innovation in design.

Day and night. The glow-in-the-dark view reveals a night scene: hold your coin under an ultraviolet light source to activate the photo-luminescent technology, then move to a dark room to see the CN Tower and the Toronto skyline lit up at night.

Past and present. Toronto’s changing skyline is represented by the silhouettes engraved on the outer ring, while within the core design, the 1976 cityscape (black on the colourized coin) stands in the shadow of today’s taller skyscrapers.

Fun for all ages. Perfect for those who can’t get enough of Toronto’s CN Tower—whether you’ve admired it from afar, from the ground, or even gazed out from its heights. A great way to share your interest in coins with family, friends, and new collectors!

Limited supply. Limited to 50,000 keepsake cards worldwide.

Did you know?

Conceived by visionary architects and engineers as a bold answer to a telecommunications challenge, the CN Tower emerged as both a triumph of engineering and a modern architectural wonder. In just over two years, more than 1,500 workers—rotating through 24-hour shifts, five days a week—completed the concrete form, topping it with a massive steel mast that brought its height to a whopping 553.33 metres (1,815 feet, 5 inches), making it the world’s tallest freestanding structure from 1976 until 2007.

Behind closed doors

"I know how iconic and prominent the CN Tower is, just like anyone else who has lived in Toronto. Coming out of the subway? Look up to locate the tower and get your bearings. It's at the heart of the city and stands alone as an icon worldwide. Toronto is a dynamic city, always changing and growing, but the one constant in the skyline is the CN Tower, from its construction through to present day.

I was excited and honoured to receive this commission. I'm old enough to remember the construction of the CN Tower. My speech topic in grade 8 was written after a school trip to the city, seeing the slip forms and construction. I found the construction fascinating, and got an understanding of engineering basics, like what a plumb line is. I'm still impressed with the design and durability of it all. I ran up the steps during a charity event. Great view from the top!"

About the design

Your two $2 commemorative circulation coins come packaged together in a colourful folder designed for easy handling, viewing and sharing.

Designed by Canadian illustrator Carl Wiens, the coin’s reverse commemorates the 50^th anniversary (“50 YEARS ANS”) of the official opening of the CN Tower (“LA TOUR CN TOWER”) on June 26, 1976. The inner core features a view of the CN Tower overlooking Lake Ontario and dominating a contemporary downtown Toronto skyline, whose tall skyscrapers tower above an outline of the city’s skyline as it appeared in 1976. When the photo-luminescent (glow-in-the-dark) technology is activated on the colourized coin, the scene shows the CN Tower and skyline illuminated at night, reflecting Toronto’s vibrant energy. Additional silhouettes on the outer ring represent five decades of growth and architectural evolution, with the skyline in 1976 appearing on the left and the 2026 cityscape on the right—a visual record of Toronto’s transformation into a modern, world-class city. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
