Soulignant le centenaire de la fondation de l'Association canadienne de hockey amateur (ACHA), précurseur de Hockey Canada, cette pièce comporte une double application d'émail rend hommage à l'organisme dirigeant qui a défini le sport tel qu'on le pratique aujourd'hui dans nos arénas à l'échelle du pays.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2014 Canadian $20 Elizabeth II (Hockey Canada) silver coin is that it features a unique reverse design that showcases a stylized image of a hockey player in motion, with the Canadian Maple Leaf logo in the background. This design was created by Canadian artist and designer, Glen Loates, and was specifically commissioned by the Royal Canadian Mint to commemorate the 100th anniversary of hockey in Canada. The coin's design is not only visually striking, but it also serves as a symbol of Canada's rich hockey history and culture.
