The American football has changed a lot from the round balls once used in early rugby and soccer. Over time, it developed into the familiar elongated shape we know today. Early versions used inflated pig bladders covered with leather, which is why many people still call the ball a “pigskin.” Now, 2025 2 oz Antique Samoa Silver Touch Down Coins are available online at BullionMax.

The obverse of the 2025 2 oz Antique Samoa Silver Touch Down Coin shows the Samoan coat of arms. Around this design, you can see details that match a modern football, including the textured “pebble” surface and raised laces that help players keep a firm grip. On the reverse, the 2025 Antique Samoa Silver Touch Down Coin depicts a player in full pads running down the field with the ball secured in one arm, capturing a moment of action from the game.

Over the years, football construction moved from animal bladders to synthetic rubber bladders, which made the balls more consistent and reliable. Better leather tanning and stronger stitching also improved durability. Today’s professional footballs follow strict NFL standards: they are about 11 to 11.25 inches long, weigh between 14 and 15 ounces, and use white laces that provide grip for quarterbacks and help them track the ball during a spiral.

These 2025 2 oz Antique Samoa Silver Touch Down Coins come in protective capsules and include a Certificate of Authenticity. Each piece is shaped like a modern football and finished with an antique polish that highlights the fine details of the design.
