| Aanvullende informatie |
Basketball is one of the few major sports with a precisely documented invention: James Naismith, a Canadian physical education instructor, nailed two peach baskets to an elevated track balcony at the Springfield, Massachusetts YMCA in December 1891 and wrote out the original thirteen rules by hand. The 1999 issue marks the sport's centennial — delayed by nearly a decade from the actual anniversary, timed instead to align with Naismith's birth year commemoration.
Naismith was born in Almonte, Ontario in 1861, which gave the Royal Canadian Mint its justification for the issue despite the sport's American origins and institutional home.
