Abstract
The Invention is an item of sports memorabilia. Indicia are imprinted on a medallion using convention minting technology. An ice hockey puck has a cavity adapted to receive and to support the medallion for display. The cavity of the puck exerts a pre-selected force upon the medallion over a pre-selected area, holding the medallion in place during handling while allowing a collector to release the medallion from the puck. Alternatively, resilient or spring retaining members releasably engage the puck and the medallion.
