The coin, available in Canada only, features the Cup surrounded by two hockey players. On the left is a player who would have vied for the trophy in its earliest days. On the right is a player from today's era. Together, they represent the full span of a rich history that dates to March 18, 1892, when Lord Stanley, the governor general of Canada, introduced the idea of a championship trophy for the country's top amateur hockey team.
Although its appearance has changed throughout the years, the Stanley Cup remains an enduring symbol of Canada's beloved winter sport.
The Royal Canadian Mint previously produced a commemorative Canadian dollar in 1993 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Cup.
