This new coin celebrates 125 years since the invention of basketball by Canadian, James Naismith. Struck in the usual one troy ounce of fine silver with an obverse depicting Queen Elizabeth II, its the reverse that is the highlight here. Taking the obvious step of depicting a basketball, colored in this case, the artist Glen Green hasnt stopped there. Covering much of the coins reverse face is an uncolored depiction of two players in full flight, one trying to score and one trying to block. We think its a superb piece of design, very dynamic looking, and expertly laid out on the coin. The two basketballs to the left and right are minor distractions, but all said, its one of the finest sporting coins out there. 99.99% pure silver. Glen Green (reverse), Susanna Blunt (obverse).
