The Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame began in 1959 in the hometown of basketball, Springfield, MA. The Hall of Fame is named after James Naismith, the founder of basketball from the 1890s. For its 60 years of operation, this independent, nonprofit organization boasts over 400 inductees and runs over 70 high school and collegiate-level competitions internationally. The Hall of Fame’s mission is not only to record history and historical figures of the sport, but also to increase access to the game of basketball worldwide. With every purchase of these coins, the US Mint donates a portion of the sales to the Hall. Honor the Hall of Fame by purchasing a charitable coin today! 

The obverse design was created by Justin Kunz, an artist from the US Mint Artistic Infusion Program (AIP). Inspired by the success of the 2014 Baseball Hall of Fame Coins, this design is dome-shaped to replicate the likeness of a basketball. The obverse image represents two main factors to the game of basketball: the diversity of the athletes for this game, and the intensity of the sport. Three players reach for a basketball soaring overhead. The background makes up a subtle basketball hoop with the border serving as the rim. When pairing the foreground and background together, the combined illustration suggests the players are about to score.

The reverse was created by AIP artist Donna Weaver. It showcases a basketball about to fall through a hoop. Inscriptions featured on the coin mark the face value, country, artist initials, and “E PLURIBUS UNUM”.
