American football began with round, bladder-filled balls borrowed from early rugby and soccer. Over time, the sport pushed the ball toward the longer, pointed shape we recognize today. Early footballs used inflated pig bladders covered with leather, giving rise to the well-known term pigskin. Now, BGASC is offering the 2025 2 oz Antique Samoa Silver Touch Down Coins.

Design

The obverse of the 2025 2 oz Antique Silver Touch Down Coin includes the Samoan coat of arms. Surrounding the emblem, youll notice design elements inspired by a modern football, including the textured grain and detailed laces that help players throw tighter spirals. The reverse of the 2025 Antique Samoa Silver Touch Down Coin features a football player in full padding sprinting down the field with the ball secured in his arm, adding a sense of motion to the piece.

History

Advances in materials changed the sports equipment over time. Synthetic rubber bladders replaced animal-based ones, while improved leather processing and sturdier stitching made footballs more consistent and durable. Todays NFL footballs follow tight rules: about 11 to 11.25 inches long, 14 to 15 ounces in weight, and fitted with white laces that help quarterbacks grip and track the ball.
