Comment

Part of a set of six coins for the FIFA 1990 World Cup. Series issued in CuNi, Silver, Gold and Platinium.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that showcases three soccer players in action, commemorating Gibraltar's participation in the 1990 FIFA World Cup. The players are depicted in a dynamic pose, as if they are in mid-game, and the detailing on their faces and jerseys is quite impressive, given the small size of the coin. This design was created by the renowned sculptor and engraver, John M. Mercanti, who is known for his work on various coins and medals. The coin's platinum composition and limited mintage of only 5,000 pieces also add to its exclusivity and value among collectors.
