Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2016 Canadian $25 Elizabeth II (Basketball) silver coin is that it features a unique reverse design that showcases a basketball player in mid-shot, surrounded by a stylized basketball court. The design is meant to commemorate the 100th anniversary of basketball in Canada, and it's a departure from the traditional coin designs that feature the Queen or other historical figures. The coin's unique design makes it stand out among other coins in the series and adds a touch of modernity to the collection.
