It’s a milestone worth celebrating! We are proud to unveil our first release for UFC®, a limited-edition 1oz pure silver coin that commemorates 30 years of incredible fights, unforgettable knockouts, and inspiring champions.
Three Decades of UFC
Starting in 1993 as a professional mixed martial arts organization, UFC has revolutionized the fight business and today stands as a premium global sports brand, media content company and the largest Pay-Per-View (PPV) event provider in the world.
UFC follows a rich history and tradition of competitive MMA dating back to Pankration, a Greek Olympic Games event introduced in 648 BC. About 80 years ago, a Brazilian form of MMA known as Vale Tudo (anything goes) sparked local interest in the sport. UFC then introduced organized and sanctioned MMA to the United States.
The goal was to find “the Ultimate Fighting Champion” by staging a single-night tournament featuring the best athletes skilled in the various disciplines of all martial arts, including karate, jiu-jitsu, boxing, kickboxing, grappling, wrestling, sumo and other combat sports. The winner of the tournament would be crowned the champion.
A Commemoration of Legendary Moments
Crafted with precision, the coin is shaped like an octagon symbolising the iconic competition mat. The 30th-anniversary logo has a stunning rainbow effect added to highlight the special occasion. For further enhancement, some frosting and a mirror finish have been applied to the pure silver. This keepsake truly encapsulates the spirit and legacy of the sport!
Legal tender & Limited edition
This inaugural release is truly a collector's item. It’s a rare find for fans and collectors alike, with the worldwide availability limited to just 1,993 — reflecting the year the first UFC event was held. Furthermore, the back of the coin features the Public Seal of Niue, which guarantees that it is legal tender.
Display & Packaging
The outer box is UFC themed with the anniversary logo at the front, allowing you to display your precious piece in your collection. The coin itself is securely held in place by a clear, acrylic capsule for easy handling. Printed on the box are a Certificate of Authenticity and the coin’s unique serial number in the limited mintage.
Let the fighter spirit live on, and make sure to keep an eye out for when the next coin drops!
