2016 - $25 - Pure Silver Coloured Coin – 125th Anniversary of the Invention of Basketball

The rules are simple—the pace, exciting! Whether playing offence or defence, every player has the opportunity to let their skills shine in a game of basketball; but 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. Invented in 1891 by a Canadian, Dr. James Naismith, in 1891, basketball has evolved over time to become one of the most popular sports played around the world. Whether you're playing indoors or outdoors, it doesn't take much to play a simple pick-up game—all you need are two players, a ball, and a shared love for the game.
