The reverse replicates a world map on which three countries are conspicuous: Spain (the current world champion, shown together with the Spanish flag), South Africa and Brazil (these two linked by lines suggestive of the track of a football, to signify the preceding host country and the next FIFA World Cup host). Portrayed at center is the FIFA World Championship Trophy coated in gold. The obverse of the sterling silver coin bears a likeness of H.M. King Juan Carlos I.

After South Africa the FIFA World Cup travels to Brazil. Spain, as current World Champion, has issued an official FIFA coin representing the transfer of the Trophy from one country to the other. This is the first partly gold plated silver coin ever of the Spanish Royal Mint.
