| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dynamic composition divided into two contrasting fields: to the left, the FIFA World Cup trophy surmounting a tall columnar pedestal with a football atop it, rendered against a bright polished field; to the right, a striding football player in mid-action with a ball at his feet, set against a dark matte field. A beaded inner border frames the design, and the legend COPA MUNDIAL DE LA FIFA BRASIL 2014TM curves along the upper right periphery in raised Latin capitals. |

| Additional information |
Paraguay has never qualified for a FIFA World Cup hosted in South America despite sharing a continent with two former champions, and its central bank's decision to issue this commemorative ahead of Brazil 2014 was purely commercial — part of a wave of licensed FIFA gold issues sold to collectors worldwide through mint distribution networks rather than circulated as legal tender.
