Invented in 1891 by Canadian, Dr. James Naismith, basketball has evolved over time to become one of the most popular sports played around the world. This fine silver convex coin celebrates the 125th anniversary of the invention of basketball in full colour. Whether playing offence or defence, every player has the opportunity to let their skills shine in a game of basketball. This action-packed sport also relies heavily on teamwork, where smooth passes and soaring rebounds are just as important as the gravity-defying dunks and three-point plays that drive spectators wild.
