The 2025 5 oz Silver Baseball Glove Shaped Coin has a 3D design that closely resembles a real baseball glove. You’ll see detailed stitching and webbing just like on a working glove. On the back side of the glove, the Samoan coat of arms is included on the webbing section.

When gloves first appeared in baseball, they were more like thin leather coverings that offered little protection and no catching help. In fact, players didn’t like wearing gloves at first because they thought it made them look weak. That changed when Albert Spalding began using them. Over time, glove designs improved—outfielders used deeper pockets, infielders had flatter gloves for quicker throws, and catchers and first basemen used specially shaped mitts.

Each 2025 5 oz Samoa Silver Baseball Glove Shaped Coin is housed in a custom capsule and comes in a display-ready gift box. The surface of the glove includes a thin coat of 24-karat gold, giving the silver coin a polished and detailed finish.
