Hockey is the national pastime in Canada; it seems like the majority of Canadian children learn to skate and play ice hockey before theyve learned to run. The 2017 Proof Canadian Passion to Play: Winnipeg Jets 1/2 oz Silver Coin is a part of the collection of coins issued by the Royal Canadian Mint paying tribute to this great sport. Each of the 7 NHL franchises located in Canada is featured in this collection of beautifully designed coins. The coins feature vibrant colors and contain .9999 pure silver. They are a great addition to any collection and are of particular interest to those who are passionate for the sport.
Highlights:
What is today recognized as the Winnipeg Jets was first a franchise founded in 1999 as an Atlanta expansion team known as the Atlanta Thrashers. The team moved to Winnipeg during the 2010-2011 season.
The coins ship secured in the signature maroon clamshell of the Royal Canadian Mint. The coins are also shipped inside of a graphic beauty box. These are well-designed beautiful coins that are collector must-haves.
Obverse
The obverse of all Passion to Play coins features the commonly used portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majestys portrait was created in 2003 by Susanna Blunt, and now features on all Canadian coinage. Her Majesty is featured with her pearl necklace and earrings.
Reverse
On the reverse of the 2017 oz Proof Canadian Silver Passion to Play Winnipeg Jets coin youll find the scene of children playing hockey on an outdoor ice rink at night, with a single flood light for brightness. The logo for the Winnipeg Jets is featured above the image of the children. The children are also depicted wearing shirts and jerseys from their favorite hockey team.
Each of the coins in the Canadian Passion to Play series features beautifully designed artwork depicting children playing hockey outdoors. This pays tribute to the fact that children in Canada are often just as passionate as their parents are about the game of hockey.
