From this expression of support sprung a rich legacy, as the Stanley Cup evolved into one of the most revered trophy in professional sports, and a celebrated icon in Canada. The Royal Canadian Mint is proud to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the Stanley Cup's origins, with a one-of-a-kind shaped coin that pays tribute to hockey's ultimate prize.
