Trinidad and Tobago qualified for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany — their first and, to date, only World Cup appearance — after defeating Bahrain in an intercontinental playoff. The squad, coached by Leo Beenhakker, famously held Sweden to a 0–0 draw in the group stage. This coin was issued in the wave of FIFA-licensed national commemoratives produced for the tournament, with dozens of countries minting similar authorized pieces regardless of whether they had qualified.
