| Reverse description | A dynamic figure of a footballer in full stride occupies the central field, depicted in high relief against a mirror-polished proof background with radiating lines suggesting motion and energy. To the lower right, a leaping kangaroo — Australia's iconic national symbol — is rendered in finely detailed relief, serving as a secondary design element that identifies the issuing nation. A football rests near the lower centre of the composition. The arc legend 2010 FIFA WORLD CUP SOUTH AFRICA TM curves along the upper periphery, while the inscription 1/4 oz 9999 GOLD appears along the lower field, accompanied by the Perth Mint's P mintmark. |

| Additional information |
Australia's FIFA licensing arrangement for the 2010 South Africa World Cup produced a clutch of issues across multiple mints and denominations, with Perth handling the premium end. The tournament itself was the first World Cup held on African soil, a point FIFA had been steering toward since awarding the hosting rights to South Africa in 2004 over Morocco and Egypt.
The .9999 fineness places this above the standard .9990 gold used in most Perth bullion issues of the period.
