To the right of the emblem, the copyright notice '© 2002 FIFA TM' appears in small lettering. Below the central motif, the legend 'FIFA WORLD CUP' is inscribed in two lines, followed by 'GERMANY' in large bold lettering and '2006' beneath it, all in Latin script. |

| Additional information |
Trinidad and Tobago was one of several Caribbean nations that issued commemorative circulation coinage tied to the 2006 FIFA World Cup hosted in Germany — a tournament the island nation's national team failed to qualify for. The coin nonetheless marked a genuine moment of regional football enthusiasm; Trinidad and Tobago had made their first-ever World Cup appearance the previous cycle, in 2006 itself, drawing 0–0 against Sweden before elimination in the group stage.
KM#63 is not a particularly scarce issue, though bi-metallic commemoratives from smaller Caribbean central banks see inconsistent distribution and frequently end up in collector hands rather than circulation.
