Montreal Canadiens Coin

1.5 Ounce 99.99% Pure Silver Coin

Known for his hard slapshot and explosive speed, Yvan “the Roadrunner” Cournoyer blew past many of the top blueliners of the 1960s and 1970s on his way to becoming a 10-time Stanley Cup® champion with the Montreal Canadiens. Despite playing a limited role in his first few seasons with Montreal, Cournoyer went on to become one of the league’s premier forwards for much of his 16-year NHL career (1963-1979). The fast-skating right-winger scored 25 goals or more in 11 consecutive seasons, while his record-setting 15 goals in 17 playoff games earned him the Conn Smythe Trophy in 1973. Number 12 also led a star-filled team to consecutive Stanley Cup Championships during his four-year tenure as team captain (1975-1979) — an incredible stretch that also set NHL team records for most points and fewest losses. Inducted in the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1982, Yvan Cournoyer is one of six NHL stars featured in this rectangular tribute.
