| Additional information |
Uruguay's claim to host the first World Cup in 1930 — and win it — gives the country an outsized relationship with the tournament relative to its size. This silver issue appeared in 2005 ahead of the 2006 Germany tournament, part of a broader Latin American commemorative trend that flooded collector markets in the mid-2000s with near-identical specifications and limited secondary demand.
The SA#E32 reference places it firmly in the essay/proof category rather than mainstream circulation issue.
