The World Cup event is always attracted our attention around the world every four years. Same as those collectible coins to every professional collector. Here I would like to introduce some great challenge coins collection about previous FIFA competitions.

1978 FIFA World Cup Argentina

1978 Argentina FIFA coins are valuable coins to collect and hold, engraved with vivid football sport views, and specially designed with irregular edges. There are a total of six pieces commemorative coins, three coins are minted by bronze and three by silver.

This competition was unique among World Cup FIFA. The winner was the team to beat the rival team with great performance at penalty kicks finally. It’s incredible.

And the United States Mint issued the below delicate commemorative coins, to mark the first World Cup Soccer Championship played in the United States.

There are three type coins, five-dollar one is gold, one dollar coin is silver and 50 cents is minted by nickel. With limited issues numbers, those commemorative FIFA coins are really great for biased fans to hold and show off.

1998 FIFA World Cup France

Commemorative coins for the 1998 FIFA world Cup France are diversified design with eight coins. So many handsome portraits for players are vividly printed on coins.

While I have to say, this series FIFA coins have less attraction and collect intention for fans. Each coin is issued with 100,000 pieces, and there are too many different series coins to collect. Maybe less value for the coin collector.

The joy of owning this commemorative coin may last longer than knowing your favorite team is the winner, right?

Well, if you don’t find satisfying coins to support your affection for the FIFA World Cup, you can design custom challenge coins as you like by the leading challenge coin maker. It’s the second and fashionable way to be greatly biased fans.

The bridge is an incredible and great joint project in the world! It takes nine years to complete and helps visitors to decrease travel time between Hong Kong and Zhuhai from three hours to 45 minutes. Now as the world’s longest immersed tube tunnel and cross-sea bridge and tunnel combined highway, this bridge is considered the new wonder in the modern world.

Why the Local Government to Build the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge?

The Hong kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, which spans the Lingdingyang Sea and connects the Hong Kong special administrative region in the east and the Zhuhai and Macau special administrative regions in Guangdong province in the west. It’s a little difficult to connect people into two regions easily and effectively.

Then, with strategic significance, this bridge was specially built to shorten the distance between the three places.

And the Hong kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge also can help to enhance the comprehensive competitiveness of the Pearl River Delta region, maintain the long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and Macau and China mainland.

How this Sea Bridge Attracts Attention Around the World?

1. Special Structure

It is combined with a bridge, two artificial islands and a tunnel sea-crossing project. This structure is very complicated and hard to finish technically.

2. World Records

• Construct the largest steel bridge section
• The bridge has the world’s longest production and floating installation undersea tunnel
• The rapid formation of two large artificial islands, with only 221 days.

Indeed, this bridge is a super project with incredible innovation. There are many problems and difficulties to build this sea-crossed bridge on new material, craft, equipment and technology, etc. No cases and experiences to learn from.

But the super engineer team has made it. With many world records and patents, it’s sure to be the world’s most difficult, longest, and deepest undersea highway sinkhole tunnel.

Custom coins are often widely used to mark special moments, buildings and landmarks. To commemorate this great bridge, the Chinese government issued official commemorative circulation coins with sea bridge image. 30g pure silver guaranteed.

With a face value of 10 yuan, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge coins are made to make this great bridge and express our appreciation to all contributors.

On the reverse side, custom coins are printed with the main tower of the bridge, the pathway over river and sea and an artificial island. These bridge coins are highly printed with wordings “In commemoration of the Opening of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge” in Chinese and English on the bottom. On the obverse side, this coin depicts the emblem of the People’s Republic of China’s and issued time.

More than this, there are so many world-famous bridges and building has its own challenge coins to mark and commemorate similar landmarks. For example, the Golden gate bridge.

The golden gate bridge is a well-known landmark in San Francisco, and it was the longest suspension bridge in the world.

Minted by brass, bridge coins with the view of golden gate bridge make great collectible or gift to give away or collect.

Found in 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge was the longest suspension bridge in New York City at that time. Nowadays many people are trying to collect similar challenge coins with the original version to remember this old famous building.

Challenge coins with various bridges, buildings, or other special meaningful constructions are a wonderful addition to any collection. A challenge coin is a tiny piece with a nice memory, is it?
