2017 – 1 Dollar Loonie Canada – Toronto

The 2017 Canadian 1 dollar coin commemorating Toronto is a special edition issued by the Royal Canadian Mint to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team. The coin, made of multi-ply brass plated steel and weighing 6.27 grams with a diameter of 26.5mm, features a dynamic reverse design by Canadian artist Steven Rosati showing two hockey sticks facing off above the iconic Maple Leafs logo; an old-fashioned wooden stick on the left honors the team’s storied past while a modern composite stick on the right represents the current game. Between the sticks is a security feature resembling a hockey puck, with the team’s logo below and the years “1917” and “2017” flanking the design, surrounded by a ring of 100 dots marking the centennial. The coin’s top edge is inscribed with its denomination in a semi-circle, accompanied by a hockey puck image between “Canada” and “Dollar.” The obverse features the uncrowned portrait of Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt with the inscription “ELIZABETH II D – G – REGINA.” This circulating coin encapsulates a century of hockey passion and the enduring spirit of Leafs Nation in Toronto.
