2017 Canada 25 Dollar 1-oz Silver Trivial Pursuit 35th Anniversary Proof
Celebrating 35 Years of a "Trivial" Classic!
Two Canadians, One Worldwide Phenomenon, Billions of Questions Answered!
You can trace the birth of this international phenomenon directly to a December 15th, 1979 game of Scrabble played between photo editor Chris Haney and sports journalist Scott Abbott. Several beers and a few missing pieces later, the concept of a trivia game was brewed between the two. With the additions of one artist, two business partners and 32 investors, the first 1,100 copies of Trivial Pursuit hit Canadian stores just a few years later. The initial excitement caught the attention of game company Selchow and Righter, who licensed the game and put their advertising muscle behind the independent hit. The rest, as they say, is history!
The Ultimate Symbol of Trivia Mastery That's Nearly Twice the Thickness of a Conventional Coin!
To celebrate the 35th anniversary of the game's debut, our friends at the Royal Canadian Mint are releasing this positively gorgeous 2017 Trivial Pursuit one ounce silver piedfort coin. The six wedges of victory (yellow, blue, green, pink, purple and orange) are all represented in beautifully vibrant enamel, forming a perfect game piece that's ready for the center circle! Surrounding it all is the original logo for the game, flanked by the years 1982 and 2017. Flip to the other side of this exceptionally thick piedfort and you'll find Susanna Blunt's portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. It all comes together beautifully in one full ounce of 99.99% silver for this legal tender 25 dollar Canadian coin!
