China 1 yuan Football World Cup in Spain Player PR66 PCGS brass coin 1982

The China 1 Yuan Football World Cup brass coin, 1982, is a dynamic sports-themed commemorative issue that captures movement, athletic skill, and national symbolism through bold medallic design. Struck in brass with Prooflike quality, this coin reflects the artistic approach of early modern Chinese sports commemoratives.

The obverse features a football player frozen in an energetic kicking motion. The athlete’s body is fully extended, with one leg raised high and the other firmly grounded, conveying balance, power, and precision. Muscular definition is visible in the arms, legs, and torso, while the head is turned toward the ball in focused concentration. A football appears in the upper portion of the design, positioned in mid-air, reinforcing the sense of action. The central scene is framed by a circular textured border that adds depth and visual separation from the surrounding field. The polished background enhances contrast with the frosted relief of the player.

The reverse presents a central national emblem enclosed within a circular wreath composed of detailed plant elements. On both sides of the emblem, symmetrical floral branches extend outward, featuring leaves, buds, and blossoms. Above the emblem, a group of stars is arranged in a balanced arc. The lower portion is decorated with scrolling ornamental motifs, creating a formal and ceremonial composition. Smooth reflective fields contrast sharply with the raised details, emphasizing the Prooflike finish.

Certified PCGS PR66, this brass coin is an attractive collectible for enthusiasts of football, international sports history, and Chinese commemorative coinage.
