The origins of football can be traced back to the ancient games of the Greeks and Romans in which many balls were used at the same time during a game that involved only the use of feet. The term football is believed to have originated from one of two root phrases or concepts.
In the first, football is literally seen as a combination of the words “foot” and “ball,” indicating the two were combined to coin the term for a sport that involved kicking a ball with your foot. IN the other, football is said to have originated from the games of medieval Europe that were quite literally “played on foot.”
Regardless of the root of the term, soccer is today the world’s most popular sport. It is played on all of the inhabited continents of the word, and is particularly popular among the residents of South America and continental Europe. Fan or not, you can appreciate the beauty in the design of the 2016 1 oz. Monarch Domed Soccer Ball Silver Round.
On the obverse of the Domed Soccer Ball Silver Round is the image of a traditional soccer ball, with its patchwork appearance. This side of the Round has a 3D finish that gives the round a more soccer-ball-like visualization when held flat in your hand or set on a table or other flat surface.
The reverse of the 2016 1 oz Monarch Domed Soccer Ball Silver Round features the Monarch Precious Metals logo, along with engravings of the round’s purity, metal content, and weight in Troy ounces.
Monarch Precious Metals is a private minting facility in the United States that opened in 2008, during the height of the Great Recession. All silver rounds from Monarch Precious Metals are hand-poured and hand-stamped using a minimum .999 pure silver.
