Jamaica issued this piece for the 1990 FIFA World Cup held in Italy — the first World Cup staged there since 1934. The Bank of Jamaica produced relatively few large-format silver issues during this period, and the series sits in a crowded field of World Cup commemoratives from smaller nations whose central banks used the tournament as a straightforward hard-currency revenue opportunity rather than out of any particular footballing tradition.
Jamaica would not qualify for the World Cup until France 1998.
