Not a coin, but these were widely promoted in 1970 as 'The Esso World Cup Coin Collection'. A total of 30 medallions were given away by the gasoline company, showing each member of the England World Cup Squad. Sadly England did not repeat their victory of 1966 and the medallions ended up as unloved mementoes of yet another sporting failure:

I just picked up this coin. It's part of a six coin series the RCM made to commemorate the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup. The coins were sold as a set as well as individually. I previous acquired an incomplete set and was missing the coin below. While not your typical image for a soccer-themed coin, it is a beautiful design. The other five coins can be found on the first post of this thread.  The coin came in a soccer ball-themed case, which I thought was quite creative and different than the standard cases the mint typically issues with coins.

I've had my eye on the UK 50p Offside Rule coin since I learned about it from triggersmob's posting in 2018. His picture is no longer showing for some reason. A generous member of the forum sent this to me.

This coin had been on my radar for a while. Bought it from a family member who I didn't know had it!

Why you should not hire modern artists to draw soccer coins.  Or any coins really? I do not know why I still keep this one.

I thought this was an interesting design with the hole in it.
