| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Ecuador is displayed prominently in the center of the field, featuring a condor with outstretched wings atop an oval shield. The shield depicts Mount Chimborazo with a river in the foreground, a steamship, and a radiant sun above. The arms are flanked by four national flags and two crossed fasces with Caduceus symbols. The circular legend REPUBLICA DEL ECUADOR arcs around the upper periphery, while the date 1986 appears in the lower field beneath the arms. The coin is struck in proof quality with deeply mirrored fields contrasting frosted relief elements. |

| Additional information |
Ecuador issued this coin specifically for the 1986 FIFA World Cup held in Mexico — a tournament that proceeded despite the catastrophic September 1985 earthquake that killed thousands and initially raised serious doubts about Mexico's ability to host. FIFA declined to relocate the event. Ecuador itself did not qualify for the tournament; the coin is a commemorative issue capitalizing on global interest rather than marking any national footballing achievement.
