  That has to be about the most ridiculous coin reverse ever.

  Knowing our crazy Mint, I was expecting a Canadian explanation of offside in hockey.
  
  Glad the Brits beat us to it.
  
  I agree that it's totally ridiculous.
  
  edited to add: where's the US coin of a giant foul pole explaining a foul and fair home run??

  Ha Ha Ha. I like it.
  
  I'll give $100 to the first person that offers me one in PCGS plastic, MS68 or higher. Offer stands indefinitely.

  I have all of them that have been released so far , still in mint packaging.My family pick one up every release and mail it. I agree they are the most boring coins ive come across.

  I suppose some of us can at least be grateful the reverse isn't another rolling out of the 1966 world cup result..
