In the 1800s, footballs were much rounder and made by placing animal bladders inside leather covers. Because each ball was different, games were often unpredictable, with bouncing and handling varying from one play to the next.

Each 2025 2 oz Colorized Samoa Silver Football Shaped Coin features detailed colorization on a domed surface, giving it the authentic look of a football. These coins are safely packaged in custom capsules and arrive in gift-ready boxes.

The obverse of the 2025 Colorized Samoa Silver Football Shaped Coin includes the official coat of arms of Samoa, set within the center of the football design. As football evolved through the early 1900s, the ball was reshaped into a more pointed form to make throwing easier. This led to the “prolate spheroid” we know today, optimized for passing plays that transformed the game.

The reverse displays a college-style football design, complete with white stripes and realistic coloring. Football production improved again in the mid-20th century, when synthetic materials were introduced to provide better shape retention and durability in all weather.
