2014 - $20 - 1 oz. Fine Silver Coin - Pond Hockey

Beautiful combination of colours and engraving details!

From the highest echelon of NHL greatness to a casual game of pickup in the street, hockey weaves the very fibre of this nation. This beautiful coin features a delightful coloured design of four boys and a family dog engaged in some lively play on a frozen pond. The wintry scene brings back memories of hockey's early days in Canada where settlers would take to the ice for a friendly game of pickup to break the monotony of the cold. It's a pastime that illustrates Canada's renowned stalwart hardiness, and continues to play out to this day as children both young and old take to frozen ponds to live this idyllic scene in Canada's rural communities.
