Argentina's commemorative program for the 2006 FIFA World Cup was issued two years ahead of the tournament — standard practice for host-nation and participating-nation issues designed to generate advance collector revenue. Argentina had last won the World Cup in 1986 under Carlos Bilardo, and the 2006 squad carried considerable public expectation heading into Germany, where they were eliminated in the quarterfinals on penalties by the host nation.
The .925 silver specification places this squarely within Argentina's post-convertibility commemorative output, after the 2001–2002 economic collapse forced a restructuring of the mint's precious-metal programs.
