| Additional information |
The Edmonton Oilers' 2017 season was their first playoff appearance in eleven years — ending a drought that had made them the league's most prominent cautionary tale about post-dynasty collapse. The Royal Canadian Mint issued this piece to coincide with that return, timing the release to capitalize on a fanbase that had been waiting since 2006.
The .9999 fine silver specification places this among the Mint's higher-purity collector issues, a standard they adopted aggressively during the 2010s to differentiate numismatic product lines from bullion.
