Part of the Canadian Sports Firsts series, this sterling silver coin commemorates the first-ever Grey Cup game in 1909 and the University of Toronto Blues' historic victory.

Commissioned from Birks Jewelers by Governor General Earl Grey, the Grey Cup started as an amateur prize for the Dominion Football Champions and grew to become the nation’s ultimate professional trophy. This award evolved alongside the sport itself, which transformed from its British rugby roots into Canada’s own unique brand of football.
