Coins commemorating Robin van Persie's Netherlands header 'sell out'

Robin van Persie's impressive headed goal for the Netherlands against Spain at the World Cup has been commemorated via a special edition coin, which have since sold out.

The Manchester United striker's diving header helped his nation shock the reigning champions Spain with an opening group game 5-1 victory in Brazil.

After his goal, 6,000 coins depicting an outline of Van Persie's body as he dives to head the ball were created and sold for €10, but all were snapped up within hours of them going on sale, according to the Daily Mail.

Meanwhile, Van Persie remains a doubt for tonight's semi-final against Argentina due to a stomach bug.
