Bullion Exchanges is pleased to present this 2020 W $5 Gold Basketball Hall of Fame Proof Coin (w/Box & COA) to you. In recognition of the 60th Anniversary of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, the West Point Mint struck the new Basketball Hall of Fame coin program. This coin arrives in a dome-shape design and is struck with .90 gold and a weight of 8.359g. Don’t miss your shot to own this gold proof commemorative coin, so purchase yours now! 

The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame was established in Springfield, MA, also the birthplace of basketball. The Hall of Fame has over 400 inductees from its sixty years of operation. This is an independent, nonprofit organization that promotes, celebrates, and maintains the game of basketball for everyone. They support all teams without discriminating based on the identities of the players including whether the team is amateur or professional, and foreign or domestic. 

The design for the obverse of this coin was decided from a public competition, with the US Mint Artistic Infusion Program (AIP) artist Justin Kunz as the winner. His design of the obverse presents the idea that basketball unifies athletes from many different backgrounds. There are three players all reaching for the basketball above their heads to emphasize how physically demanding basketball is. The background and border serve as the basketball hoop’s rim and net that gives an effect of a score about to occur.

The reverse design is by AIP artist Donna Weaver. It demonstrates a basketball about to go through the net. Inscriptions are featured on the coin regarding the face value, country, artist initials, and “E PLURIBUS UNUM”.
