Canada: 2017 25 Cent 125th Anniversary of the Stanley Cup Special Wrap Roll (40 coins)

Finish: Circulation

Composition: Nickel Plated Steel

Mintage: 50000

Design: The coin showcases the legendary Stanley Cup trophy itself symbolically positioned in the centre of the field, where detailed engraving recreates its multi-tiered bands. The bowl at the top is unmistakable, and serves as a powerful link to the trophy’s origins in 1892, when the sixth Governor General of Canada donated a silver bowl to be awarded to Canada’s top amateur team. To the left, the helmet-less player represents the game as it was played in the late 19th century; to the right is a more modern snapshot of how hockey is played today, 125 years after Lord Stanley’s history-making donation.

Packaging: The coins are wrapped in a roll with illustrated paper on the outside.
