Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 1978 World Soccer Championship, which was held in Argentina. The coin features an image of a soccer player in action, and the reverse side features the coat of arms of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The coin was minted in 2007, 29 years after the event it commemorates, and it is made of silver, which gives it a unique value among collectors.
