In this year of the 100th Grey Cup®, the Saskatchewan Roughriders® can boast a history as long and as storied as that of the Cup itself. Your commemorative stamp captures one of the team's greatest moments: the 77th Grey Cup, when Saskatchewan prevailed over Hamilton in what is considered one of the most exciting Canadian football games ever played. With the score tied 40-40 and just seconds to go, Roughriders kicker Dave Ridgway delivered a game-winning field goal.
Your 25-cent commemorative coin not only celebrates the team's three Grey Cup victories; it celebrates the Roughriders' legendary bond with the people of Saskatchewan, one of Canada's most enduring love stories.
If you are a Saskatchewan Roughriders fan, or know someone who is, then this coin and stamp set is a perfect gift!
