1962 World Cup football winner`s gold medal awarded to Brazil`s Amarildo (Tavares da Silveira): the contintental gold medal stamped .750 (18 carat)and inscribed on the obverse FIFA and embossed with the original Jules Rimet figure and on the reverse inscribed Campeonato Mundial De Futbol, Copa Jules Rimet, Chile 1962 and stamped Peka c/w suspension ring. Note: The 1962 FIFA World Cup, the seventh staging of the World Cup, was held in Chile returning to the continent of South America after 12 years. It was won by Brazil, who retained the championship by beating Czechoslovakia 3-1 in the final. Brazil`s Pele, the hero of 1958, was injured in the second group match against Czechoslovakia and was replaced by Amarildo. In the first round, Brazil topped their group with Czechoslovakia finishing second, above Mexico and Spain. Brazil went on to defeat England in the quarter finals 3-1, meeting the hosts Chile in the semi final where they found themselves 1-0 down after 15 minutes but turned the game round and won 4-2. Brazil again found themselves a goal behind in the World Cup final, however, just like the previous final four years earlier, Brazil soon hit back, equalising through Amarildo, then Zito and Vav‡ with the match ending 3-1 to Brazil, being only the second team in the history of the competition to successfully defend their title. Amarildo Tavares da Silveira, also known as Amarildo (born in Rio de Janeiro, June 29, 1939) was a Brazilian football player who played as a striker. His career lasted from 1957 to 1974 and he was capped 22 times for Brazil , from April 1961 to June 1966, and won the 1962 FIFA World Cup as a replacement for the injured Pele and in the process gaining the nickname "The White Pele" - scoring 3 goals including one in the final and was Brazils 3rd highest goal scorer in the World Cup just behind Garrincha and Vava on 4 each. Besides playing in South America he also played in Italy for Milan, Fiorentina and Roma. He won one "Coppa Italia" in 1967 with Milan, and the Italian title ("Scudetto") in 1969 with Fiorentina. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a World Cup winner`s medal associated with one of the most successful teams ever in the World Cup and is sold with papers of provenance and photograph of Amarildo with his medal
