This coin shows the man who is generally believed to be the greatest hockey player of all time - Wayne Gretzky - along with his dad Walter. This was a 2011 coin from the Royal Canadian Mint and is 99.99% pure silver, 1 ounce in size and has a $25 face value.
Wayne Gretzky's iconic image and 99 jersey number are featured prominently on this coin along with the face of his father Walter. It is a nice looking coin with Wayne in full hockey gear and a holographic image of the number 99. The mirror finish on the coin is excellent and the detailing is fantastic. The mintage for this coin is 19,999 (again related to the number 99).
As a hockey fan, I am very pleased to own this coin. This is especially true since the National Hockey League lockout has caused 1/2 of the current season to be missed, so I am excited to have hockey back! I also show a few other pieces of hockey related silver - my 2010 Vancouver Olympics silver hockey coin and my Mark Messier silver round.
