| Reverse description | The reverse features a centrally placed Adidas Telstar-style football rendered in a minimalist graphic style, surrounded by a grid of 32 small squares, each representing one of the participating nations of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. The individual squares incorporate motifs drawn from the host countries' natural landscapes and cultural iconography, including Māori Tāniko triangular patterns and First Nations Australian 'meeting place' circular designs as background elements. The inscription 'FIFA WOMEN'S WORLD CUP' appears in the upper field, with the co-host abbreviations 'AU 20' and 'NZ 23' flanking a trademark symbol in the lower field. The overall design reflects the joint Australian and New Zealand hosting of the tournament. |

| Additional information |
Pitcairn Islands — population under fifty, no local currency in circulation, and no women's football team — issued this piece purely as a numismatic product for the collector market. The FIFA Women's World Cup was co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand in 2023, the first time the tournament was held in the Southern Hemisphere.
Pitcairn's coin programme has long been administered through external agencies, generating revenue the island genuinely depends on given its near-total isolation in the South Pacific.
