Product Overview
Wayne Gretzky continues to hold a place as a Canadian icon, not only as possibly the greatest hockey player ever, but also as a great leader and as an inspiration for many thousands of young athletes. This unique limited-edition $200 gold coin not only pays tribute to The Great One, but also recognizes the role a father can play in providing support and inspiration for his son.
This limited-edition coin features an image of Wayne Gretzky in action, together with his father, Walter Gretzky, as a cameo. Gretzky's immortalized number 99 is laser-etched into the coin with a solid black contrast. The substantial coin has a nominal face value of $200, is struck with a frosted cameo proof finish—the highest quality issued by the Royal Canadian Mint—and weighs just over half an ounce of 22-karat gold. A portion of sales from this coin will be donated to the Wayne Gretzky Foundation, helping to bring hockey to the physically challenged and disadvantaged.
This highly collectable coin can make a perfect gift from a father to a son, or from a son to a father, especially for Father's Day.
As a child, Wayne Gretzky practiced for hours on end, spending every available moment skating, shooting and practicing his stick-handling. When he was six years old, his father built him a skating rink in the backyard. But Walter Gretzky gave his son much more than an ice rink. He inspired a passion—an unstoppable longing to put blade to ice that transcended technical practice because it was infused with love, support and a sense of play.
Today, Gretzky is involved with numerous charitable organizations and works tirelessly to bring hockey to the physically challenged and disadvantaged. His father is as supportive as ever, nurturing a passion for which any son would be grateful and proud.
