A booby prize is a joke prize, usually given in recogition of a terrible performance or a last-place finish. Booby prizes are sometimes coveted as an object of pride and humor. The etymology may have something to do with a group of bird species known as boobies. For instance, if there was a contest and a person scored last, he may get a joke prize such as a worthless coin.
