Issued to mark Uruguay's co-hosting bid for the 2030 FIFA World Cup centenary — a campaign that ultimately failed, with the hosting rights going to Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, with ceremonial matches awarded to South America — this gold piece belongs to a broader Latin American commemorative push tied to football's governing body in the early 2000s. Uruguay's claim to 1930 was always the emotional core of that argument; they won the first World Cup on home soil.
