Cambodia 20 riels Football World Cup in USA Player silver coin 1991

The Cambodia 20 Riels Football World Cup coin, issued in 1991, is a silver commemorative celebrating the XV FIFA World Cup held in the United States in 1994. This coin reflects the global spirit of football at a time when the tournament expanded its reach and popularity, symbolizing unity through sport on an international stage.

The obverse presents a powerful and energetic composition featuring a football player captured in mid-stride. The athlete is shown running toward the ball, with bent arms, dynamic posture, detailed shorts, socks, boots, and a clearly defined football suspended just ahead of his foot. Curved lines to the left of the figure emphasize speed and motion. Along the upper rim is the inscription “XV World Cup,” while “United States of America” runs around the opposite side. The year appears near the edge, and the bold “1994” dominates the lower field, anchoring the design to the historic tournament.

The reverse displays a calm, symbolic contrast. At the center is a rectangular inset with stylized Angkor temple towers, representing Cambodia’s cultural identity and heritage. Above is the inscription “State of Cambodia,” while below appears the denomination “20 Riels.” The smooth fields, matte textures, raised rim, and balanced layout highlight the refined craftsmanship of the piece.

Struck in silver and preserved in excellent condition, this coin is a strong addition for collectors of World Cup memorabilia, sports-themed coins, and modern Cambodian numismatics.
