| Obverse description | The obverse displays the coat of arms of Nauru centered in the field, featuring a quartered shield supported by two frigate birds with outstretched wings and flanked by decorative feathers. The upper quarter of the shield bears a twelve-pointed star above a chequered pattern, while the lower quarters depict a frigate bird and a flowering plant respectively. A scroll above the shield bears the legend NAOERO, and a second scroll below carries the national motto GOD'S WILL FIRST. The issuer legend BANK OF NAURU arcs along the upper periphery in large raised lettering, with the date 2010 inscribed along the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Nauru has no meaningful connection to football and fielded no team for the 2010 tournament. The island's GDP at the time was propped largely by Australian aid following the collapse of phosphate revenues, and its mint program existed almost entirely as a revenue stream targeting thematic collectors rather than any domestic numismatic tradition. KM# 40 is one of several FIFA-licensed issues farmed out to small Pacific sovereigns in this period.
