The text on the reverse has narrower lines and is sharper.

Ernest “Moose” Johnson won four consecutive Stanley Cups with the Montreal Wanderers from 1906 to 1910. Later in his career, during the 1915-16 season, he led the first American team, the Portland Rosebuds, to the Stanley Cup Finals against the Montreal Canadiens. Due to unusual circumstances, this Hall of Famer played in the 1916 Finals for free.
