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:

This coin design features a meticulously engraved portrait of the hockey goaltender Jacques Plante, who became renowned for his agility and sharp skills. Crouched in front of the net, the maskless netminder maintains his focused stare as he defends the Montreal Canadiens’ net, poised with his trapper and goalie stick to block any shot that comes his way.
