Obverse

On the obverse of this coin, youll find the Samoan coat of arms placed at the center of the balls design. Over time, as the sport changed and passing became more common, the footballs shape was adjusted to a longer, narrower form. This shapeknown as a prolate spheroidhelped players pass the ball more easily and accurately.

Reverse

The reverse of the coin shows a realistic college-style football, complete with color and white stripes. In the 1950s, changes in how footballs were madeincluding the use of synthetic materialshelped the balls keep their shape, even in tough weather.

History

In the 1800s, footballs were not uniform and looked more like rugby balls. These early versions were made from animal bladders covered in leather. Because of their uneven shape, the way the ball bounced or moved was hard to predict, making play challenging.
