2016 Canada 1 oz Silver $25 Invention of Basketball (Domed Coin)
This striking silver coin from the Royal Canadian Mint celebrates a major milestone in sports history. Struck in one ounce of 0.9999 fine silver, the coin features an innovative convex shape that mirrors the actual curve of a basketball. The reverse side of this piece is a marvel of modern minting technology. It boasts a domed surface complete with recessed lines and a dimpled texture that replicates the feel of a real basketball. To complete the illusion, the design is finished in the sport's iconic bright orange hue. On the obverse, the coin displays the classic right-facing profile of Queen Elizabeth II, set against a smooth background that contrasts beautifully with the textured reverse. With its unusual shape and vibrant color, this 25-dollar coin is a fascinating fusion of athletic legacy and numismatic artistry.
