| Reverse description | The reverse presents a diagrammatic representation of Diego Maradona's celebrated 1986 FIFA World Cup goal against England, rendered in precise linear form. The design traces the player's dribbling path across the field, illustrating the trajectory of the ball and the positions of the opposing defenders successively evaded before the goal was scored. The composition is executed in a clean, schematic artistic style evoking a tactical pitch diagram. The peripheral legend identifies the issuing republic and the commemorated event. |

| Additional information |
Argentina's formal bid to co-host the 2026 World Cup alongside the United States and Canada was rejected by FIFA in 2017, leaving Mexico, the U.S., and Canada as the eventual host trio. The Banco Central has nonetheless issued this coin in anticipation of the tournament — a commercially motivated series with no shortage of precedent in Argentine numismatic history, where commemorative gold issues have long served as foreign currency earners more than domestic collectibles.
The 6.75g weight places it outside standard fractional gold benchmarks, a deliberate choice to achieve a round figure in troy ounces at .999 fineness.
