Hungary qualified for the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico but exited the group stage after a catastrophic 6–0 defeat to the Soviet Union — the heaviest loss the national team suffered in any World Cup tournament. The coin was issued as part of a broader commemorative program that several nations ran ahead of the tournament, with Hungary producing multiple pieces in the series at different face values.
The .640 silver fineness is notably low for a commemorative of this period, a reflection of Hungary's cost-conscious approach to its socialist-era numismatic program.
