Historical Significance
As the Mint's card tells it, Canada went into the third period of the eighth and final game down 5-3. Phil Esposito and Yvan Cournoyer tied it, and with seconds left Henderson scored 'the goal that was heard around the world'. The design was inspired by a painting by André L'Archevêque.
