| Additional information |
Turkey issued this coin for the 1986 FIFA World Cup held in Mexico — an event Turkey did not qualify for. The piece belongs to a wave of commemorative silver struck by non-participating nations licensing the World Cup name, a practice FIFA actively encouraged through the 1980s as a revenue stream independent of sporting results.
KM#1009 is frequently encountered in original packaging with minimal handling, as collector demand was modest and most examples went straight into boxes.
