1929 $1 Parliament, Canada Scroll Issue
Issued in 1929 as part of Canada’s famous Scroll Issue, the $1 Parliament stamp depicts the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa, with the Peace Tower rising prominently above the skyline.
This handsome high-denomination stamp was engraved with remarkable precision, capturing the architectural detail of Canada’s seat of government. Its bold frame, ornate scrollwork, and rich green color make it a visual complement to the equally celebrated 50¢ Bluenose of the same series.
The $1 Parliament was a workhorse for heavy parcels and overseas mail at a time when such high values saw genuine postal use. As a result, mint examples in nice condition are scarcer and especially prized by collectors today.
A classic high-value definitive that belongs alongside the Bluenose, this stamp remains a highlight of Canadian philately and a must-have for any serious collection.
