| Additional information |
One of several coloured circulation-strike 25-cent pieces the Royal Canadian Mint produced in the mid-2000s using a selective enamel application process — a technique the Mint pioneered for mass-produced coinage and initially drew skepticism from collectors uncertain whether coloured coins belonged in serious numismatic collections. The hockey issue was part of a multi-sport series tied loosely to Canadian cultural identity rather than any specific sporting event or championship.
KM# 737 shares its specifications with the broader transition period when the Mint was phasing nickel out of the quarter's composition in favour of steel planchets — this silver version ran parallel to the base-metal coloured issues as a collector-targeted alternative.
