Germany Football World Cup Mexico Dali Type 2 Matte MS 65 PCGS silver medal 1986

This German silver medal, issued in 1986 and graded PCGS MS65, represents a remarkable artistic interpretation of the FIFA World Cup in Mexico. Known as the “Dalí Type 2,” this design transforms the energy of football into an abstract, almost cosmic visual language, blending sport with avant-garde creativity.

The obverse features a surreal, highly stylized footballer composed of swirling, textured circular forms. The figure appears in motion, with limbs formed by spiral patterns and organic shapes, creating a sense of fluidity and rhythm. The body is fragmented into rounded segments, evoking both movement and transformation, while fine radiating lines in the background suggest the geometry of a football pitch or the intensity of stadium lighting. The composition is both dynamic and dreamlike, reflecting a unique artistic vision.

The reverse presents a bold and structured design centered on a large football with clearly defined panels. Surrounding it is a circular arrangement of decorative lettering, forming a balanced and modern composition. The matte surface enhances the contrast between smooth fields and raised elements, emphasizing the clean geometry of the design.

Struck in silver with a refined matte finish, this medal is an exceptional combination of sports history and modern art. A distinctive collectible for football enthusiasts and admirers of unconventional numismatic design.
