Silver coin issued on the occasion of the 1986 World Cup. The reverse shows two footballers tackling a ball.  The 13th FIFA World Cup took place in Mexico, instead of Colombia which withdrew from hosting the tournament. 24 teams competed (including Poland), and 52 matches were played. In the final the teams of Argentina and West Germany faced each other. The match ended with Argentina winning 3:2. Denmark, Iraq and Canada made their debuts in the tournament. England's Gary Lineker was top scorer with six goals. The mascot (a sombrero-clad, moustachioed jalapeño pepper wearing the Mexico national team uniform) was named Pique. The mascot's name comes from the Spanish picante, meaning sharp. The character has caused controversy in Mexico due to ethnic stereotyping.
