The Design

Renowned Canadian artist Silvia Pecota brings this dynamic scene to life on the coin’s reverse. Set at an outdoor rink during twilight, the design captures the essence of Canada’s grassroots hockey culture. Under the warm glow of a streetlight, five young players, dressed in their favorite team jerseys, continue their spirited game. Two players fiercely battle for puck control, while another seizes the moment to take a shot. The goaltender, in disbelief, turns to see the puck in the net—a triumphant goal!

Above this action-packed scene proudly sits the iconic Montreal Canadiens® logo: a bold red “C” outlined in blue and white, with a smaller “H” nestled within. The coin’s face value, “10 DOLLARS,” is elegantly engraved alongside this symbol of Canadian hockey heritage.

On the obverse, Susanna Blunt’s elegant effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is prominently featured, symbolizing the coin’s official status.
