| Additional information |
Nicaragua has no meaningful footballing connection to the 2018 World Cup — the country has never qualified for the tournament. This is a bullion-adjacent commemorative issued purely for the collector market, part of a wave of FIFA-licensed gold miniatures that flooded the numismatic trade during the Russia 2018 cycle from issuers with no stake in the competition.
