| Reverse description | Two association football players rendered in high relief compete for a ball at center, depicted in dynamic action with a stadium structure visible in the background. A colorfully applied Union Jack flag appears in the lower field, enhancing the design with patriotic symbolism in reference to the London 2012 Olympic Games. The denomination $10 is inscribed to the lower left, the Pobjoy Mint initials PM appear to the lower right of the central design, and the word OLYMPIC is boldly lettered along the lower arc of the coin above the flag motif. |

Pobjoy Mint struck this piece for one of its many client territories during the football World Cup cycle leading into South Africa 2010 — the first World Cup held on the African continent. Pobjoy, operating as a private mint on contract, produced commemorative issues of this type in volume, supplying numerous small island jurisdictions with licensed sporting themes they had no organic connection to.
KM# 399 attribution places it within a broader run of near-identical football commemoratives differentiated mainly by issuing authority.
