100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE NHL – 2017 $25 1.5 oz Pure Silver Rectangle Coin – Royal Canadian Mint
The National Hockey League’s centennial anniversary is a celebration of 100 years of history that have shaped our beloved winter sport, and the defining moments that are as much a part of Canada’s history as they are of the NHL’s. This rectangular coin captures the timeless thrill of a game that brings us to our feet time and time again.
SPECIAL FEATURES
- A CELEBRATION TAKES SHAPE: To mark the 100th anniversary of the National Hockey League, the coin’s rectangular shape mimics the shape of a hockey net and provides a wider canvas for a sweeping action shot.
- STEP ONTO THE ICE: The “net camera” view immerses the viewer in the exhilarating moment, right at the heart of the action, as the puck gets past the goaltender.
- A COIN THAT SCORES: Made by fans for the fans, the design stays clear of team-specific elements in order to place the focus squarely on the goal—it’s all about celebrating the excitement of the game Canadians love!
- IT’S IN THE DETAILS: Time and time again, this special coin will bring renewed appreciation for the incredible amount of engraved details that bring this design to life in 99.99% pure silver.
- MARK OF APPROVAL: Officially approved by the National Hockey League, each coin features the NHL’s special 100th anniversary mark in both official languages.
DESIGN
Designed by Canadian artist Julius Csotonyi, the reverse of this rectangular shaped coin celebrates 100 years of National Hockey League history through a moment that conveys the excitement of the game. The unique “netcam” perspective places the viewer at the very heart of the fast-paced action on the ice, where several hockey players have rushed towards the crease. On the left, a player’s stick is still raised after taking the shot, which proves to be successful as the puck soars past the collapsing goaltender. From the net to the overhead scoreboard, highly detailed engraving brings the setting to life while capturing the mood, as two distant teammates raise their arms to celebrate the goal. Framing the reverse are the engraved commemorative dates “1917 – 2017” and the face value “20 DOLLARS”, along with the NHL’s Centennial logo in both official languages.
