Hi guys!
Ok, been enjoying the FIFA games, havent missed a single game. Today is great, enjoying the games and no work and plenty of time to look up coins and read up on coins.
I already bought the Paris Mints domed silver coin.
I have seen the various coins for for the 2014 silver FIFA coins and gold ones.
What are your personal favorites? I want to get a few more to mark this enjoyable series!Please chip in.

wow really surprised how quiet it was here, after such an exciting FIFA world cup!
I marked the occasion with three coins-
The France domed silver coin, Cooks Island Fuleco colored coin and the Brazilian Fuleco coin 5 Reais...
In gold, the best gold coin is the 1 oz gold domed coin from the Paris Mint.

Well there are very few football coins I have ever thought worthy of being a coin in the first place. I like football and coins but usually the two of them combined lead to images I don't actually like.

I've posted this one before, but I got this official Korean medal made by KOMSCO. I guess the mintage of 8,888 represents "S. Korea's 8th consecutive World Cup entrance," also the translation of the reverse center and the theme of the reverse design.   |

 Given FIFAs reputation..I would have thought wooden Nickels would have been more honest! |

I really have liked the domed France coins, I missed one from Ecuador that looked really nice....
I think the mascot on coins really looks nice, I guess I am going to have to show you guys lol

The French dome shaped coin I don't find that interesting. Five years ago, when the Monnaie de Paris issued the Astronomy/Apollo coins (same shape), that was an interesting novelty. But now ... Brazil, as the host country, issued several coins (Au, Ag, Cu-Ni), see here: http://www.bcb.gov.br/pec/appron/ap...opa_2014.pdf Well, I am not so fond of the designs. Germany, the 2014 world champions, issued a stamp very quickly after the final, but not a coin. Here is a football coin (UK 2012) that I like; it explains the offside rule. Yes, I know there was a debate about whether the explanation is correct or not; I just find the idea and design to be appealing ... Christian  |

nice coin there Chris, I like it!
Yea those earlier domed coins were ahead of my time. I have seen the gold domed coin in pictures and its really beautiful, and seeing I enjoyed the entire FIFA games, its a special coin to me.
I did pick up one brazilian coin featuring Fuleco which looks really nice!
