| Reverse description | The reverse features a dynamic composition set against a dark proof field, depicting two football players in action competing for a ball in the foreground, with the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue atop Corcovado mountain prominently rendered in the centre background, flanked by tropical foliage and a radiating sun. A hummingbird in flight appears to the left of the statue. Stars and floral ornaments are scattered throughout the field. The curved legend 2014 FIFA WORLD CUP BRAZIL TM arcs along the upper rim, while the denomination 300 NGULTRUM is inscribed along the lower rim, all within a beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Bhutan has no footballing tradition to speak of — the national team ranks among the lowest in FIFA's tables — which makes this issue an unambiguous bullion-adjacent commemorative aimed squarely at the international collector market rather than domestic circulation. The Royal Monetary Authority has produced a steady stream of themed silver issues tied to global sporting events since the 1990s, a revenue strategy common among small Himalayan and Pacific nations with limited hard currency reserves.
