| Reverse description | Three dynamic football action scenes depicted in high-relief against a mirror-polished field, commemorating the XII FIFA World Cup held in Spain. At upper center, a player is shown in a dramatic airborne pose heading or striking the ball; at lower left, a goalkeeper crouches in defensive stance before a goal net; at lower right, a second outfield player lunges in a kicking motion. A smaller figure appears in the background at upper left, adding depth to the composition. The circumferential legend 'XII WORLD CUP · SPAIN ·' arcs across the upper portion of the coin, while 'ONE CROWN ·' is inscribed along the lower arc, with decorative dot stops separating the inscriptions. |

| Additional information |
Pobjoy Mint struck this platinum crown for the 1982 FIFA World Cup held in Spain — one of several precious metal variants issued simultaneously across gold, silver, and platinum. The platinum version was produced in extremely small numbers, as was standard practice for Pobjoy's platinum issues of this period, making population data across major grading services thin and survival estimates unreliable.
