Dominating the competition on home ice in Moscow, the Soviet Union were unbeatable at the 1979 IIHF World Championships, claiming gold for the fifth time in seven years. Vladimir Petrov led the tournament in scoring, with Vladislav Tretiak named the top goaltender. We present a 1979 IIHF World Championship gold medal. Measuring 2 3/4" in diameter with the original blue and yellow ribbon attached and "1979" to the bail, "World Championships" appears in raised letters circling the perimeter on the obverse along with two generic players. Featuring a painted globe IIHF logo with crossed hockey sticks on the reverse, it is encompassed by "International Ice Hockey Federation" in matching style raised letters. The medal displays beautifully and remains in near mint condition.
