| Reverse description | The reverse displays a colorized reproduction of the Angolan national flag occupying the upper half of the field, rendered in red and black with the central emblem — a yellow cogwheel, machete, and star — applied in color. Below the flag, two football players are depicted in action, with a stadium or civic building visible in the right background, all in relief against a polished field. The legend ANGOLA arcs along the upper border, while 10 DOLLARS is inscribed in bold relief along the lower periphery. The date 2006 appears vertically along the right inner field, referencing the FIFA World Cup tournament year. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's Central Bank issued a sprawling series of commemorative pieces in the early 2000s, many produced by foreign private mints and sold directly to collectors rather than circulated. The "Angola Team" designation almost certainly refers to the Angolan national football squad, fitting a pattern of Liberian-issued sports commemoratives that had little connection to the country named on the coin beyond the legal tender face value.
KM#806 is one of dozens of near-identical issues in this series. Silver-plated copper rather than solid silver kept production costs low enough to make the economics work.
