| Additional information |
Ecuador issued this coin specifically for the 1986 FIFA World Cup held in Mexico — a tournament that proceeded despite the catastrophic September 1985 earthquake that killed thousands and initially raised serious doubts about Mexico's ability to host. FIFA declined to relocate the event. Ecuador itself did not qualify for the tournament; the coin is a commemorative issue capitalizing on global interest rather than marking any national footballing achievement.
