2018 Canada 1 Ounce $25 Silver 180th Anniversary of Baseball Domed Proof

Abner Who? Coin Honors North America’s First Documented Baseball Game – Played in Canada!

Before Abner Doubleday was credited with having written his rules for baseball, Canadians had already stepped up the plate and played what is now believed to be the first documented game in North American history. The game was played June 4, 1838 in Beachville, Ontario and pitted teams from Oxford and Zorra townships.

In 2018, to pay tribute to the 180^th anniversary of that historic event, the Royal Canadian Mint released a limited edition silver proof that captures the excitement of the game with a uniquely-shaped coin that is curved much like an actual baseball. This legal-tender $25 coin is struck in a full ounce of highly-pure 99.99% silver and comes in gorgeous Gem Proof condition. It’s a wonderful coin rich in history and steeped in baseball lore.

This coin has got all the bases covered! The scene depicted on the coin is a view from behind home plate. Above and below the image are stitches engraved into the coin to look like the seams of a baseball. To complete the effect, the coin curves out towards you to give it a domed shape much like the curve of a real baseball! And with a limited edition of just 5,000, there are far too few to go around for all the coin collectors, baseball fans and silver stackers who would like to take a swing at these coins.
