“XV OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES – JEUX OLYMPIQUES D’HIVER” appeared on all ten silver coins.
All coins had a face value of 50 cents, were packaged in a plastic sleeve, and the issue price was $9.95.
In the case of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens Goalie Mask coins, it is believed that the surviving mintage is less than 50.
[7] On an additional note, Canada Post will also issue four million stamps honouring the Canadiens anniversary.
[8] Two key moments in Hockey history have been commemorated on Canada's silver dollar series.
The Cup was first presented in 1893 to the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association team by Lord Stanley.
To commemorate the induction of Mario Lemieux in the Hockey Hall of Fame, a set was issued honouring all three inductees.
The stamps were packaged in a hard plastic case, with a hockey puck and corresponding medallions.
The Royal Canadian Mint has produced the medals for the 2009 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship.
All medals are lacquered and bear a Maple Leaf which is coloured with red enamel.
[15] The Mint also sourced the tournament's popular Player of the Game award, which this year is a uniquely Canadian-made acrylic and aluminum Hoselton sculpture, housed in a cherry wood box.
