China 1 yuan Football World Cup in Spain Player PR69 PCGS brass coin 1982

The China 1 Yuan Football World Cup brass coin, 1982, is a striking sports-themed commemorative piece that captures athletic motion, strength, and ceremonial symbolism through refined medallic design. Executed in brass with a high-quality Prooflike finish, this coin reflects precision engraving and strong visual contrast.

The obverse presents a football player depicted mid-action in a dramatic kicking pose. One leg is lifted high and fully extended, while the supporting leg is firmly planted, conveying balance and power. The athlete’s arms are spread for stability, and muscular definition is clearly visible across the legs, torso, and shoulders. The head is turned toward the ball, emphasizing focus and timing. A football appears suspended in the air near the upper portion of the design, reinforcing the sense of movement. The central scene is enclosed by a circular textured border, which adds depth and frames the composition against smooth, reflective fields.

The reverse features a central national emblem surrounded by a formal wreath composed of detailed plant elements. On both sides, symmetrical floral branches extend outward with finely engraved leaves and buds. Above the emblem, a group of stars forms a balanced arc, while the lower area is enhanced by elegant scrolling ornamental motifs. The mirrored background contrasts beautifully with the frosted relief, highlighting the Prooflike character and precision of the strike.

Certified PCGS PR69, this brass coin represents an exceptional example of Chinese sports commemoratives, ideal for collectors seeking high-grade athletic and international themes.
