| Additional information |
South Africa's selection as the first African host of the FIFA World Cup was announced in May 2004, beating out Morocco and Egypt after a vote that famously came down to a single ballot. This coin was issued the year before the tournament as part of a broader precious metals program — the South African Mint produced gold, silver, and platinum denominations across multiple years leading up to 2010, making this one piece in a tightly coordinated commemorative series rather than a standalone issue.
The Hern reference Np14 places it within the "new precious" classification, reflecting its status as a non-circulating legal tender struck purely for collectors and investors.
