    Zbigniew Boniek, former football star, is being honoured in an unsual
    manner: his face is being featured on a collector's series of coins
    called Football Kings.

    The collector's editions coins, a project initiated by the Central
    Bank of the Republic of Armenia, started already in October 2008 with
    coins featuring Pele, Eusebio and Lev Yashin.

    Boniek, known as 'Zibi,' is featured on coins with his face and
    signature and collector's will be provided with a certificate of
    authentification as well. A limited edition run of 1,000 pieces is
    being produced by Polish Mint SA. Over the next five years, the mint
    plans to put out 20 more coins as part of the Football Kings series.

    The footballer hails originally from Bydgoszcz, northern Poland but
    started his career for the team Widzew Lodz. Boniek played for the
    Seria A Italian teams Juventus and AS Roma. Zibi was named one of
    the top 100 footballers of all time by FIFA. The striker was named
    Polish Sportspersonality of the Year in 1982. (mmj)
