There's no shortage of hypotheses to explain the distinctive shape of the Canadian soccer, but the consensus is that it's the result of a series of transformations, not deliberate design. Some believe that, some 170 years ago, the first footballs were shaped like the pig bladders from which they were made. Even when made of cowhide and rubber, they were difficult to inflate and asymmetrical. On the other hand, this deformation made them much easier to carry and throw. So, from the moment the forward pass came into use in the early 1900s, the ball was deliberately modified to give it the elongated shape it has today.

Packaging
The coin is encapsulated and presented in a black double-shell case adorned with the Royal Canadian Mint logo. The case is accompanied by a black protective box.Automatically translated
