2017 $50 Three-Ounce Stanley Cup Shaped Fine Silver Coin 125th Anniversary

Own your own Stanley Cup with this new and innovative $50 pure silver coin commemorating the 125th anniversary of hockey's ultimate prize. In 1892, the Governor General of Canada, Lord Stanley, donated a silver bowl for the purpose of fostering a competitive spirit between Canada's amateur hockey teams. From this expression of support sprung a rich legacy, as the Stanley Cup evolved into one of the most revered trophies in professional sports. This unusual and visually striking coin weighs three ounces of pure silver with a height of 58 mm, and has a limited mintage of just 5,000 pieces. As a pure silver coin struck by the Royal Canadian Mint, this item is HST/GST exempt.     

Developed by the Royal Canadian Mint's team of R&D specialists, engineers and engravers, this fine silver coin has a unique shape that is instantly recognizable to the many hockey fans that have dreamed of hoisting the Stanley Cup at centre ice. 

The reverse design presents a reduced-scale replica of the illustrious hockey trophy, all in a magnificent reverse proof finish. Detailed engraving recreates the ringed appearance of the Cup's rounded barrel base, topped by the silver bowl that replicates the one donated by Lord Stanley. The finer details are enhanced by the application of different finishes that alter the way light reflects off the coin's silver surface, thus infusing the innovative design with a life-like sense of depth and dimension. The obverse is flat, and features the commemorative dates "1892–2017", the words "the Stanley Cup la Coupe Stanley," the engraved face value "50 dollars," and an effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
