| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dynamic, highly stylized composition evoking the energy of a football match in progress, with radiating diagonal lines emanating from a central focal point to suggest motion, crowd, and stadium atmosphere. At the center-lower field, an abstract representation of a football goal and ball is rendered in minimalist relief. The circular legend CAMPEONATO DO MUNDO DE FUTEBOL FIFA ALEMANHA 2006 encircles the upper portion of the design in bold, stylized lettering that complements the contemporary graphic treatment of the overall composition. |

Portugal hosted no matches in the 2006 tournament — that was Germany's — but issued this piece as a participating nation's commemorative ahead of their strongest World Cup finish in four decades. The 2006 squad reached the semi-finals before losing to France, ultimately taking third place, their best result since Eusébio led them to the same position in 1966.
The KM#774a designation indicates the silver variant within a multi-metal issue series, the base metal counterpart being KM#774.
