Fifty years later, the intensity and excitement of the 1972 Summit Series between Canada and the Soviet Union (U.S.S.R.) still live on in the collective memory of Canadians, along with the heart, grit and determination demonstrated by members of Team Canada. Their legacy and team spirit are proudly honoured on the colour-enhanced 2022 commemorative $2 circulation coins that form each 50^th Anniversary of the Summit Series Colourized Special Wrap Roll.

All 25 coins in each Colourized Special Wrap Roll feature the same colour on the reverse: red accents on the Team Canada 1972 Summit Series uniform (jersey, gloves and socks); and red on the team jersey’s iconic maple leaf, which rises up in the background.

The reverse design by Canadian artist Joel Kimmel features two hockey players representing Team Canada in the 1972 Canada-U.S.S.R. Summit Series. Set against the team jersey’s iconic maple leaf, which is highlighted in red on the colourized coin, the hockey players are accompanied by the words “THE SERIES LA SÉRIE” and “50 YEARS ANS”. On the outer ring, the coaches’ initials and the players’ jersey numbers surround the inner core to represent the spirit of Team Canada. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
