Artwork Summary: The only item in the collection available for purchase, as opposed to auction, the design for the Gold Drip coin was inspired by medieval treasure and features a quatrefoil — which were often used in medieval and gothic architecture.

Also included on the coin are 16 Vegas stars across the front and back, symbolizing the 16 wins needed to win The Stanley Cup.
