Germany Football World Cup Mexico Dali Type 1 Matte MS 65 PCGS silver medal 1986

This German silver medal, issued in 1986 and graded PCGS MS65, commemorates the FIFA World Cup in Mexico through a unique artistic interpretation attributed to Salvador Dalí. Combining sport and surrealist creativity, this piece stands out as an exceptional fusion of football culture and modern art.

The obverse presents a dynamic, stylized footballer in motion, captured in an abstract composition with elongated limbs and fluid forms. The figure appears mid-action, stretching toward the ball, surrounded by radiating lines and geometric divisions that suggest speed, movement, and stadium lights. The design reflects Dalí’s signature surrealist approach, transforming a sporting moment into an imaginative, almost dreamlike scene. Fine textural contrasts and smooth surfaces enhance the visual impact.

The reverse features a bold central football rendered with clean geometric panels. Surrounding it are large, decorative inscriptions forming a circular composition, emphasizing the global significance of the 1986 tournament. The layout is balanced yet modern, with crisp lines and a matte finish that highlights the sculptural quality of the design.

Struck in silver with a refined matte surface, this medal is both a sports collectible and an artistic statement. A remarkable addition for collectors of football memorabilia and modern numismatic art.
