The players are shown in various action poses, conveying movement and competition. The legend COPA MUNDIAL DE LA FIFA arcs along the upper periphery of the field, while ALEMANIA 2006 is inscribed along the lower border. The mint date 2003 and a small mint mark appear to the right within the field. |

| Additional information |
Cuba issued a series of FIFA World Cup commemoratives well ahead of the 2006 Germany tournament, part of a broader hard-currency collecting program the Castro government ran through the 1990s and 2000s to generate foreign exchange. These coins were never intended for domestic circulation — the peso had no meaningful purchasing power in that economy, and silver .999 issues existed almost entirely for export sale to European and North American collectors through state dealers.
