2006 FIFA Collectors gold and silver coins set

1/4 OZ GOLD COIN 

 R2 (CROWN) STERLING SILVER COIN

Presenting a distinguished pair of official commemorative coins from the SA Mint, this set consists of a pure R2 gold coin and an exquisite R2 sterling silver coin, issued in tribute to the globally-renowned Soccer World Cup. This exclusive set forms an integral part of the internationally recognized "FIFA" coin program, symbolizing the event's worldwide impact.

Each coin is adorned on the reverse side with the official emblem of the "2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa". This iconic insignia serves as the focal point of the design, paying homage to one of the world's most celebrated sporting events.

A striking, stylized representation of the German eagle and South African secretary bird graces these coins, artfully illustrating the ceremonial passing of the Soccer World Cup baton from Germany to South Africa. This depiction encapsulates the spirit of international unity and sportsmanship that the World Cup embodies. The denomination "R2" is seamlessly integrated into the design, completing the artistic narrative.

The obverse side of the R2 gold coin boasts a beautifully detailed depiction of the South African coat of arms, accompanied by the proudly inscribed words "South Africa".

Similarly, the obverse of the R2 sterling silver coin features the South African coat of arms, with the phrase "South Africa" eloquently scripted in all the official languages of the country. This detail accentuates the nation's linguistic diversity and commitment to inclusivity.

The year of issue, "2006", is carefully engraved on both coins, marking their historical significance. This set offers not only tangible mementos of a monumental event in world soccer, but also timeless pieces of numismatic art that can be treasured by collectors and soccer enthusiasts alike.
