The surrounding legend identifies the commemorative theme, the host nation, the year, the denomination, and the mint mark, all in Latin script. |

| Additional information |
Mexico has hosted the FIFA World Cup twice — in 1970 and 1986 — but this issue commemorates the 2006 tournament held in Germany, making it one of the few Mexican commemoratives celebrating an event with no direct national hosting connection. The Casa de Moneda issued it as part of a broader series of World Cup silver rounds produced by mints worldwide that year, most of which saw limited secondary market demand and have traded near spot ever since.
