China set of 2 coins 10 yuan Women 1st Football World Championships silver 1991

This official China 10 Yuan silver coin set, issued in 1991, commemorates the 1st Women’s World Football Championships, the very first FIFA Women’s World Cup hosted by China. Struck in silver with high-quality Prooflike surfaces, the set consists of two different coins sharing the same reverse, while featuring two distinct football-themed obverses, highlighting athleticism and global sporting unity.

Both coins share an identical reverse, depicting a finely detailed traditional Chinese pagoda-style building, rendered with multiple tiers, curved rooflines, windows, columns, and ornamental architectural details. The structure is framed by stylized trees and landscape elements, while a bicycle symbol appears to the right, reflecting everyday life and national imagery. Chinese inscriptions identify the People’s Republic of China, with the event title engraved below and the date 1991 clearly shown at the bottom.

The first obverse shows three female football players engaged in an intense match moment, competing for the ball mid-air. Dynamic poses, flowing hair, realistic uniforms, footwear, and a textured football emphasize movement and energy. The English inscription “THE 1ST WORLD WOMEN’S FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS” curves along the rim, with the denomination 10元 placed within the field.

The second obverse features two female footballers sprinting side by side, chasing the ball across the field. Their forward motion, expressive body language, and finely engraved sportswear convey speed, determination, and teamwork, reinforcing the historic importance of women’s football on the world stage.

Together, this silver set unites sport, culture, and history, making it a highly desirable collectible for football fans, sports historians, and collectors of modern Chinese commemorative coinage.
