After a prolonged period of withdrawal from International Ice Hockey competition, the Canadian National team played the dominant USSR side in an attempt to prove who really was the greatest Ice Hockey nation on Earth...
4 games in Canada, followed by 4 games in Russia... and it was not until the final game, with 34 seconds left, that Team Canada scored the decisive goal to take the game lead, and seal the series 4-3 with one tied game.
Seen as a cultural landmark in Canada, the Summit Series turns 50 in 2022, and the Royal Canadian Mint has honoured the event with this special $2 coloured coin.
Each coin will be delivered in a protective SAFLIP for protection during delivery.
