Why We've Put Pep Guardiola on a Coin For the First Time Ever

Pep Guardiola has done it all.

He's won Premier League titles, lifted the Champions League trophy, rewritten the record books, collected trophies at a frankly unreasonable rate and helped turn Manchester City into one of the most dominant teams in modern football.

But he's never appeared on officially licensed legal tender Pep Guardiola coins...

Until now.

What is the 10 Years With Pep Collection?

This September, we're launching the 10 Years with Pep Collection. A series of officially licensed Pep Guardiola coins celebrating some of the defining moments of his decade at Manchester City.

The sets are strictly limited to just 1,500, struck in the UK and issued under the authority of Gibraltar, these stunning coins are more than just another piece of football memorabilia. And, because they're legal tender, we're legally unable to release more. 

Genuine legal tender coins, celebrating one of football's most influential managers. And, because we're collectors at heart, we've added the thrill of the chase.

What Makes these Pep Guardiola Coins Different?

There are plenty of ways to celebrate a football legend or prove your fandom.

Shirts, prints, signed photographs, trading cards, match programmes, statues. The list goes on. But coins have a slightly different quality.

They have weight and permanence, which is important when you're commemorating a decade of football history.

Because Pep's time at Manchester City isn't exactly short on moments worth remembering.

So, rather than trying to tell the whole story with one coin, the 10 Years with Pep Collection brings three defining moments, chosen by City and us, together across a four-coin set.

Four Coins, Three Moments that Helped Define the Pep Era

If you had to reduce a decade of Pep Guardiola at Manchester City to just three moments, where would you start?

We worked with Manchester City to ultimately select three moments that had to be part of the story.

The Pep Celebration Coin

The Pep Celebration coin

Before we get into those iconic moments in more detail, every set will also feature a Pep Celebration coin. Featuring the great man baking in the glory of another victory.

This coin is all about Pep and acts as an upgrade on the commemorative coin which starts the whole set. 

But, when you purchase the set, we'll throw the commemorative base coin in for free!

Centurions

The Centurions coin

Celebrating the historic 2017/18 Premier League season when Pep's men clinched their first league title by amassing 100 points. 

To go along with those 100 points the Citizens notched 106 goals and 32 wins.

City became the first team to reach 100 points in a Premier League campaign, setting a new benchmark for domestic dominance in the process.

It's the kind of season that deserves more than a footnote in a record book.

Four-in-a-Row

Four-in-a-Row coin

Winning the Premier League is difficult. Winning it twice is harder. Three times? Remarkable. Four consecutive Premier League titles? That's history worth celebrating.

Pep's City became the first men's team in English football history to win four top-flight titles in a row.

It's one of those achievements that sounds increasingly ridiculous the more you say it out loud. In fact, even the legend himself couldn't believe it commenting: 

"None of us will get the chance to win four in a row again, it is impossible. It won't happen again in our life. We have to live it, we have to enjoy it."

European Champions

Man City Champions of Europe coin

After years of near misses, Manchester City finally conquered Europe, beating Inter Milan to win the Champions League and complete a historic Treble.

For City supporters, it was the moment a new chapter in the club's history became impossible to ignore.

For the Pep era, it was the missing piece, the one they'd been chasing for years. 

But How Rare Will Your Coins Be?

This is where things get interesting. It's one thing to celebrate this man and his unbelievable achievements. But we're collectors; we live for the thrill of the chase. 

That heart-pumping moment when you're ripping packs, on the hunt for a super rare insert or autograph. So, we found a way to bring that element to coins.

See, every set will feature the four 'moment' coins mentioned above. But each coin has four different rarity levels to chase. And you won't know exactly which rarity level you've got until you rip your pack.

The levels you're hunting are:

  1. Classic 
  2. First Strike
  3. Chase 
  4. 1-of-1

1. Classic

The foundation of the collection. 1,334 of the coins to be release in the set will be this level of rarity. A beautifully finished, gold-plated edition designed to capture the moment and make it something you can keep.

2. First Strike

The next level up, the First Strike edition are numbered to just 150. Check the rim of your coin to see if you managed to unpack one of these rarities.

3. Chase

Gold meets metallic blue. As rare as a blue moon and just as stunning. Just 15 Chase coins will exist for each moment.

That's the point where the phrase "limited edition" starts to feel a even more meaningful.

4. 1-of-1

And then there's the one everyone will be looking for. The grail. The 1-of-1.

Only one exists for each of the four featured moments. No second batch. No "we found a few more in the warehouse". No restock when demand gets interesting.

If you find one, hold on to it! You've just unearthed something genuinely unique.

The 10 Years with Pep Collection

The Same Story. A Different Level of Rarity.

That's the fun of the collection. Every set tells the same core story, but the coins you uncover along the way can make your version of that story different - and a whole lot more unique.

You might open a Classic. You might find a numbered First Strike. You might get incredibly lucky with a Chase. Or you might just open the box and discover something that exists only once.

And that's why we think the physical act of collecting still matters. Because rarity isn't just something you read on a screen. It's a moment in time, captured forever in a weighted object you can share with the next generation

The memories matter. This ensures that.

Start Your Set from Just £5

Want to be a part of the action, but don't want to commit to the whole set? Then you need to hear about the Commemorative Pep Guardiola coin which also comes as part of this exciting drop. 
This distinctive coin features Pep in one of his iconic celebration poses across a background image of the Etihad Stadium. 

This stunning coin can be yours from just £5. But, if you do choose to take the set, we'll include the Commemorative Pep Guardiola coin for free. It's the best of both worlds. 

Why Does Legal Tender Status Matter?

These Pep Guardiola coins are not simply commemorative pieces made to look like coins.

They're officially licensed legal tender. That gives them a level of provenance and permanence that you don't get from other pieces of football memorabilia.

The coins have an authorised denomination, a defined mintage and a fixed production run.

And because they're legal tender, once the production run is finished, there isn't an option to simply make another batch because demand is still there.

That matters when you're talking about collecting. Scarcity only really means something when there is a limit. And with the 10 Years with Pep Collection, that limit is 1,500 complete sets.

That's it.

How Many 10 Years with Pep Sets Will Be Available?

Manchester City has a global fanbase running into the millions. According to Goal.com, there official social media follower count alone is over 173 million. 

But we're releasing just 1,500 complete sets of the 10 Years with Pep Collection. 

So, you already know that demand is set to vastly outstrip the available supply. And it's exactly why getting in early matters.

The collection will be available through a limited release, with the waitlist getting the opportunity to access the drop before the general public.

Because when you're dealing with a genuinely fixed mintage, waiting to see what happens isn't the safest strategy. Sometimes, by the time everyone knows they want one, there aren't any left.

Join the waitlist today to get ahead of the crowd. 

When is the 10 Years with Pep Collection Dropping?

The 10 Years with Pep Collection launches to the public on Monday 28 September 2026 at 9am GMT. So synchronise your watches!

But waitlist members get presale access from Monday 21 September.

Remember, once they're gone, there won't be another production run. The mintage is fixed, so this isn't a case of waiting for a restock if you miss out.

If you're planning to add the Pep Guardiola coins to your collection, 21st September is the date to circle.

Win a Pep-Worn Shirt

Plus, for this drop only, when you purchase a set, you'll also be entered into a draw to win a Man City training shirt worn by Guardiola himself.
