The coin has quickly become a trending topic online, with many fans viewing it as a collector’s item rather than a common currency. European sources indicate that the coin will be distributed across Portugal, reflecting Ronaldo’s significant impact beyond the realm of football.
This isn’t the first time a footballer has been commemorated on a coin. Recently, Ecuador honored Alberto Spencer, a legendary figure in the Copa Libertadores, with a similar tribute. Spencer’s daughter expressed her deep gratitude, noting, “It is an indescribable honor and pride. Thank you to Ecuador and the Central Bank of Ecuador. The only thing left is to name the top scorer trophy of each Libertadores edition after Alberto Spencer.”
Although Cristiano Ronaldo has yet to comment on the upcoming coin, the announcement aligns perfectly with his recent milestone of reaching one billion followers across social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, X, and YouTube. Ronaldo continues to break records and now will leave his mark on Portuguese history.
The Ronaldo commemorative coins will be released in limited quantities, potentially making them highly sought-after collectibles. This exclusivity could drive their value up significantly in the future. How much would you be willing to pay for a piece of CR7 history?
