5 euro silver 80th Anniversary of Pallacanestro Varese

Obverse: in the foreground, at the centre, the official logo of Pallacanestro Varese. In the background, a basketball. Around, the inscription “REPUBBLICA ITALIANA” and “1945” and “2025”, respectively the year the team was founded and the year of the coin’s issue. At the bottom, the mascot of Pallacanestro Varese. Coin with coloured elements.

Reverse: in the background, typical elements of basketball: the court and the basket with the net. On the left, a child dribbling the ball, symbolising his dream of becoming a professional player, represented by the adult player depicted on the right. The determination and path that the young athlete must follow to achieve his dream are represented by three trails behind him and by the ball. The trails end in the inscription “80°”, marking the anniversary. At the top left, “R”, identifying the Mint of Rome; at the top right, separated by the professional player figure, the coin’s value “5 EURO”. At the bottom left, arch-shaped, “S.CIUCCI”, signature of the engraver.
