Description
This coin features Gerry Cheevers of the Boston Bruins® in an action pose that recreates one of the memorable saves he made during his NHL® career. It is part of the new $10 fine silver series of legendary great goaltenders from the Original SixTM hockey teams, where goalies played with passion and a rugged determination in an era when there was little protective equipment. Each of the Canadian-born net-minder brought their own style of play and made some of pro hockey’s most memorable saves, and helped shape modern goaltending. The coin contains just over half an ounce of fine silver and has a limited mintage of 8,000 coins. HST/GST exempt.
The Design:
The coin design features a front view of the goaltender in net for the Boston Bruins as he moves into position to make one of his memorable saves. Precision engraving recreates the famous facemask with its painted stitching. Cheevers balances on one bended knee with his other leg anchoring his weight; his trapper overlaps the image’s outer rim where this legendary goaltender’s name appears.
