The figures are rendered in high relief with fine detailing of their uniforms and athletic postures. Surrounding the central design, the curved legend COPA MUNDIAL DE LA FIFA RUSIA arcs along the upper border, with 2018 TM inscribed along the lower right, all in raised Latin lettering within a polished field.

Additional information

Paraguay last qualified for a FIFA World Cup in 2010, making this issue something of a bittersweet commercial proposition — the country whose central bank struck it had no team participating in the tournament being commemorated. The coin belongs to the broad wave of World Cup licensing deals FIFA sold to mints and issuing authorities worldwide ahead of Russia 2018, a program that generated revenue for FIFA regardless of the issuing nation's footballing relevance.
