2017 Canada 25 Dollar 1.5-oz Silver 100th Anniversary of the NHL

With a unique rectangular shape, the 2017 $25 Silver 100^th Anniversary of the National Hockey League coin helps you honor the centennial in style.

The National Hockey League is one of the proudest traditions in Canadian culture, so it’s fitting that the Royal Canadian Mint pulled out all the stops in designing a unique coin for the NHL®’s 100-year anniversary. The uniquely sized 2017 $25 Silver 100th Anniversary of the NHL Proof coin creates the perfect backdrop for the Mint’s tribute to the NHL, providing plenty of space for the eye-catching design created by Canadian artist Julius Csotonyi of a high-action hockey scene.  

Hockey is almost synonymous with Canada. Developed in 1875 by a Canadian, J.G.A Creighton, the first hockey game played under "official" modern rules took place in Montreal. Though a traditionally male-dominated sport, women have gradually secured their place on the ice as well. In fact, during the 2002 Winter Olympics, more than 6 million Canadians watched their women’s team take the gold medal…a feat matched a few days later as 10 million watched the men’s team win the gold medal as well.

This coin, the third hockey-themed commemorative coin launched in 2017 to celebrate the centennial, joins releases that honor the Stanley Cup and the history of the Toronto Maple Leafs. But while the 2017 $25 Silver 100^th Anniversary of the NHL coin has already become a fan favorite, quantities are extremely limited. Get yours now from GovMint.com.

• AN IMAGE BRISTLING WITH THE ACTION OF THE GAME -- With a "netcam" perspective that places you right in the center of the fast-paced action on the ice, the reverse of this coin features several hockey players rushing toward the net. On the left, a player’s stick is still raised in the aftermath of a shot that has sent the puck soaring past a lunging goaltender. Intricately detailed engraving captures the grit of the players, the scoreboard high overhead, and the fans in the background. Also on the reverse are the engraved commemorative dates "1917 – 2017" and the face value of "20 DOLLARS." Officially approved by the National Hockey League, your coin also features the NHL's special 100th anniversary mark in both official languages.
