Design

The reverse, designed by Canadian artist Walter Burden, was inspired by a painting of Andre L'Archeveque, which belongs to the "Great Moments in Canadian Sport" owned by London Life. The picture commemorates the climactic goal of the series' eighth and final game. The obverse bears the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Dora de Pedery-Hunt.
