2018 1/2oz $10 LEARNING TO PLAY: CALGARY FLAMES® FINE SILVER COIN

Celebrate Canadian hockey and family togetherness. Do you remember the changing sounds of your gliding skates as you moved through piles of leftover snow onto the rough ice of a cleared pond? You can feel the difference in your stride, the lingering memory of moving across a makeshift rink in the countryside. Canadian artist John Mantha has captured the timeless joy of impressing a grownup and your kid-brother with your stickhandling.
