Spain's national basketball team won the 2006 FIBA World Championship in Japan, defeating Greece in the final — a result that shocked a European basketball establishment accustomed to American dominance. The Spanish federation lobbied for a commemorative issue almost immediately, and the Casa de la Moneda produced this trimetallic piece within months of the victory.
The trimetallic construction — silver core, gold middle ring, silver outer ring — was a technically demanding format that the Madrid mint had been refining since the late 1990s. Mintages on these high-denomination Spanish commemoratives were tightly controlled, rarely exceeding a few thousand pieces.
