The energy of the game captured in a classic artistic form
The first coin in an exceptional series inspired by seven masterpieces
A superb collector’s strike for lovers of art and sporting dynamism
 
At a time when football fever is once again filling stadiums and capturing the imagination of fans around the world, Rousseau returns to the field in a truly special form — as the first coin in a series inspired by his timeless art. In „The Football Players”, this remarkably original artist does not depict the match as a realistic sporting scene, but rather as a charming, almost theatrical moment.
Simplified figures, rhythmic gestures and vivid colours come together in a composition where the energy of competition meets the innocent sincerity of a childlike vision.

“Football is an art, like dancing is an art
- but only when it's well done does it become an art”.
Arsene Wnger
