Comments

The Canadian professional soccer championship it crowns is, every year, the country's biggest sporting event, attracting thousands of fans to a single stadium and millions more to their television sets. We are proud to commemorate the Grey Cup as a truly Canadian icon with a limited-edition silver Proof Dollar.

When the Right Honourable Albert Henry George Grey, fourth Earl Grey, was appointed Canada's ninth Governor General, he made a point of leaving his mark on the country's sporting life. He donated the cup bearing his name, the Earl Grey Silver Cup, to the Canadian Rugby Football Championship, which later became the Canadian Professional Football Championship.

This silver dollar is the perfect gift for any Canadian Football League fan, as it's a piece they'll enjoy and admire for years to come!

Special features :
- The coin celebrates the 100th edition of the Grey Cup, which will be played in Toronto in 2012.
- This is your chance to get a silver numismatic proof coin commemorating this event!
- The coin features one of the most important elements for players who win the Grey Cup: a close-up of the inscription on the Cup.

Packaging :
- The coin is encapsulated and presented in a burgundy double-shell case, adorned with the Royal Canadian Mint logo, padded with black fabric, which is protected by a box in the theme colors.Automatically translated
