Handsome bronze medallion was presented to Butch Bouchard to commemorate the 1968 reopening of the Montreal Forum, a grand affair with important figures receiving these commemorative pieces. Minted after the Canadiens' longtime home was renovated over the summer, it measures 3" in diameter with the Habs logo and "2 Nov. 1968, Opening of the New Forum" on one side. An image of the new Forum's facade is on the other side with an inscription that reads: "Presented to Emile Bouchard, 1968 Montreal Forum". In beautiful condition with some tarnishing to be noted, it comes with its original presentation box and Butch Bouchard's signed LOA. The presentation box exhibits handling with a loose piece of leatherette fabric on the back.
