The coming of the 2010 FIFA soccer world cup in South Africa is a grand event for all South Africans. It is an event that should be remembered for many years to come as it is the first time in the history of the world cup that South Africa has been chosen as a host country. To commemorate the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the South African Mint Company has produced a specially manufactured series of World Cup gold coins so that gold coin investors and collectors have the opportunity to invest in a part of South African history.

These specially struck World Cup coins are designed with both the South African and German coat of arms on the obverse side; a symbolic display of Germanys hand over to South Africa as a host country. The reverse of the World Cup gold coins displays a miniature image of the refurbished Soccer City stadium in Soweto, Johannesburg. The choice of engraving the stadium symbolises the celebration of the historical soccer matches that will take place and is arguably one of the rarest gold coins in circulation.

The Scoin Shop is one of the registered coin dealers in South Africa to provide the complete series of original World Cup gold coins. Peruse our selection to view the available World Cup gold coins.
