Canadian hockey teams can brag about many extraordinary players, both past and present. Not only do players captivate our imaginations, but they also earn their place in the Hockey Hall of Fame because of their amazing skills. One such player is Doug Gilmour – winner of countless trophies and amassing 1,414 points during a career that lasted 20 years. In order to honour him, the Royal Canadian Mint has made a coin that features Doug’s image. Read on to learn more about this spectacular coin.

A Hockey Player with a Long and Storied Career

When Doug Gilmour first joined the Cornwall Royals, he was a solid defensive forward and was also able to score pretty well. But his size was considered to be a stumbling stone by many NHL scouts. This was something that also posed a worrisome fact to the management of St. Louis at the time. In spite of this, he showed that he could score a great number of goals and points. As a matter of fact, he even got the nickname “Killer” from his teammate Brian Sutter for his intensity. Only four years after his professional career started, Doug Gilmour was selected to represent Team Canada at the 1987 Canada Cup. He scored some of the most important goals and ended up helping Canada win the tournament.

The Hardware to Back it Up

Doug Gilmour is one of the few players that managed to write the history of hockey. He is frequently mentioned for the trophies he won with his teams and the records he set, among other things. He won the Stanley Cup in 1989, as well as the Frank J. Selke Trophy in the 1992-1993 season. In addition to this, he was noted two times for scoring most points during one season. In the season of 1982-1983, he scored 177 points, while during the 1992-1993 season the number was 127. He is fondly remembered for his time with the Toronto Maple Leafs. And the organization, in recognition of Gilmour’s lasting endearment among fans, honoured him by retiring his number 93 in 2009.

A Coin Worthy of the Player

This coin is actually a tribute to one of the iconic and legendary Canadian captains. The reverse features a colourful image of Doug, while on the obverse there is an engraving of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. In addition to this, the coin also features the Maple Leafs logo. What is particularly interesting about this coin is the fact that it can also be had as a part of a set. Namely, you now have the chance to buy a set of 6 coins that depict some of the renowned Canadians who were legendary team leaders. Also, all of these coins are officially licensed by the NHL and the Hockey Hall of Fame.

A Perfect Gift for the Hockey Fan in Your Life

Put simply, if you would like to have something to remind you of one of the best hockey players of all time, this is the coin to do so. Doug Gilmour is certainly a player who rightfully earned his place in the Hockey Hall of Fame with his extraordinary skills. He is also one of the most beloved captains in the Leafs history. Having this and many of his other achievements in mind, the Royal Canadian Mint rightfully decided to honour him by making a coin with his image. So, if you are fond of Doug or the Toronto Maple Leafs, add this remarkable coin to your collection. Most importantly, be quick as the coin is limited to only 5,000 pieces. Check out Colonial Acres Coins for this and many other interesting, rare and valuable coin pieces.
