Silver coin issued for the 2006 World Cup. After an unsuccessful performance at the World Cup in Korea and Japan, the Polish team led by Paweł Janas got another chance to come out of the shadow of the legendary "Mountain Eagles" in Germany. The expectations of the fans were huge. The football spectacle started on 9 June. On that day, at 21:00, Paweł Janas' charges faced the Ecuadorian team and eventually lost by 2:0. Five days later, at the stadium in Dortmund, a meeting with the German team took place. In the 'match for everything', the Polish players showed good and hard play, without giving way to Jurgen Klinsmann's team. Fate wanted that in the added time of the game we lost a goal after the shot of Oliver Neuvill, losing the whole meeting 1:0, thus losing the chance to get out of the group. The Italian team became world champion, defeating the French team. The third place was taken by the home team, beating the Portuguese team in regular time. Miroslav Klose became the king of the scouts, scoring 5 goals throughout the tournament. On the obverse of the coin there is a fragment of stylized football and the image of the eagle established for the emblem of the Republic of Poland. The reverse shows the image of a running footballer against the background of a stylized image of the central part of the football pitch. To the left at the bottom, the image of the football changes depending on the angle of view.
