The sport, the spirit of FIFA World Cup 2026TM/MC, the players’ skill, and the iconic FIFA World Cup 2026TM/MC Trophy—all are celebrated on this 5 oz. coin, where a football (soccer ball) engraved in Ultra High Relief (UHR) becomes a canvas for the tournament’s story. Struck incuse at the centre, the official emblem marks the global stage, while three action-filled player panels capture the passion and plays that make every match unforgettable. Encircled by a genuine malachite ring inspired by the trophy’s base, the design links the energy of the game to its ultimate prize, making it a stunning symbol of the tournament’s spirit and prestige.
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a black Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell, and packaged in a premium FIFA graphic box with an official FIFA authenticity label.
The green ring encircling the engraved design on your coin’s reverse is genuine malachite, cut and polished to perfection. This is the first time the Royal Canadian Mint has featured malachite—the gemstone adorning the base of the FIFA World CupTM/MC Trophy—on one of their coins.
Weighing 6.175 kilograms and made of 18-karat gold, the FIFA World CupTM/MC Trophy is exclusively awarded to the winning team for a brief post-match celebration. The rest of the time, the most sought-after treasure in all of sport remains with FIFA.
The reverse design by Canadian artist Glen Green features a football (soccer ball) rendered in Ultra High Relief (UHR), with the official FIFA World Cup 2026TM/MC logo struck incuse at the centre and surrounded by three action-filled player panels. The ball is framed by a ring of green malachite—a nod to the two malachite bands at the base of the most sought-after treasure in all of sport, the FIFA World CupTM/MC Trophy. The obverse features a soccer ball pattern behind the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
The Royal Canadian Mint is known as one of the most reputable mints in the world. The Ottawa Branch of the Royal Mint opened in 1908 and was renamed The Royal Canadian Mint in 1931 when control was transferred to the Canadian government. Their high standards for excellence and quality allowed them to be the first refinery to manufacture 9999 fine gold bullion coins in 1982, as well as the first to reach 99999 fine gold purity in 1998.
