In the sport’s early days during the 19th century, footballs were rounder and more closely resembled rugby balls, being made from inflated animal bladders encased in leather. These balls were notoriously irregular in shape and size, making the game unpredictable as players contended with inconsistent bounces and handling characteristics.

On the obverse of 2025 Colorized Samoa Silver Football Shaped Coins, you’ll find the Samoan coat of arms at the center of the ball’s field. The distinctive elongated shape of the modern football developed gradually as the passing game gained prominence in the early 20th century. The more pointed, streamlined design—officially termed a “prolate spheroid”—emerged specifically to facilitate the forward pass, which became legal in American football in 1906.

The reverse side of the 2025 2 oz Colorized Silver Football Shaped Coin comes with a colorized field and classic white stripes common on college footballs used in the United States. The modern era of football manufacturing began in the 1950s with the introduction of synthetic materials that maintained their shape regardless of weather conditions.
