On 21 May 1904, the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) was founded in Paris , France by representatives from seven European countries consisting of France, Belgium, Denmark, The Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. The idea of bringing the world's strongest national football teams together to compete for the title of World Champions led to the organisation of the FIFA World CupTM.

The FIFA World CupTM has rapidly advanced to its undisputed status as the greatest single football event of the modern world. FIFA - the force behind the immense success of the football competition spectacle, is today one of the most important worldwide organisations with 204 national associations and six confederations.

In celebrating FIFA's Centennial Anniversary in 2004, JR Mayer Collections, through its sister company – the exclusive distributor of the issuing authority for the FIFA Official Commemorative Coins, proudly presents the 100 Years of FIFA Coin Set Series I issued by three countries that play an important role in the history of FIFA: France as the founding country of FIFA, Switzerland housing the current FIFA-Headquarters, and Brazil boasting the most successful national team having won five-time champions.

With a very limited edition of only 500 sets for distribution in Thailand, the coin set features one gold coin and two silver coins. Each obverse shows a meaningful design in relation to the issuing country and/or FIFA, while each reverse shares a common, strong reference to football.

  • The 50 Swiss Franc coin displays the national hero Wilhelm Tell commemorated by a statue in Altdorf.

  • The 1 ½ French Euro coin features the cock as the national symbol of the founding country and the feather represents the signing pen of the FIFA contract in Paris.

  • The 2 Brazilian Reais coin depicts the Brazilian flag in combination with five victory stars to honour the five FIFA World CupTM Championships.

Celebrate the immense success of FIFA, the power behind the world renowned football spectacle, with this numismatic treasure that will forever capture the glory and pride of FIFA.
