Comment
Colored coin and stamp set - British Columbia Lions (2012)The British Columbia Lions* have many reasons to celebrate this 100th edition of the Grey Cup®.
This commemorative stamp takes us back to the exhilarating 1994 final, when Baltimore's up-and-coming team nearly took the Grey Cup from Canada for the first time in history. Lui Passaglia rose to the occasion, scoring in the dying seconds in front of a jubilant B.C. crowd.
The Lions have won the Cup five other times: in 1964, 1985, 2000, 2006 and 2011.
The 25-cent commemorative coin celebrates the team's six victories in ten Grey Cup appearances, as well as its performances and milestones, which are a proud part of Canadian soccer history.
Special features
