Treasure our sports heritage; hockey, baseball, golf and curling. These sports are played around the world. In this four part series from the Solomon Islands, each set contains two half-ounce pure silver coins shaped like the equipment needed to play each sport: a hockey stick and puck; a baseball bat and ball; a golf club bag and ball; and a curling stone and broom.

Although there has been much debate, it is generally agreed that the modern game of golf originated on the eastern coast of Scotland, not far from Edinburgh. In its early days, the sport involved hitting a pebble over sand dunes with the use of a curved stick. King James IV of Scotland famously became a player of the game in the 16th century, and after this royal endorsement, golf became an official sport, similar to the game played today.
