| Reverse description | Two football players in dynamic action occupy the central field, one player kicking a ball at lower left while his opponent lunges in defense to the right; a football is depicted at the top center above the figures. A horizontal baseline separates the central design from the denomination '100 CROWNS' inscribed in the lower exergue. The circular legend 'WORLD FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP · 1982' runs along the upper and right periphery of the coin. |

| Additional information |
The Turks and Caicos Islands issued this piece to coincide with the 1982 FIFA World Cup held in Spain — the first World Cup to expand to 24 teams. As a British Overseas Territory with no independent monetary policy, the islands have historically used commemorative crown series as a primary vehicle for generating revenue, with pieces like this one intended almost entirely for collector export rather than domestic circulation.
At 6.48g of .900 gold, the specification mirrors the traditional quarter-eagle weight class, a deliberate choice to appeal to the American collector market just across the Florida Straits.
