| Additional information |
Ecuador had no particular footballing distinction to celebrate in 1986 — the national team did not qualify for the Mexico tournament. The coin was issued purely as a revenue-generating commemorative, part of a broader wave of FIFA-licensed silver issues that flooded collector markets throughout the 1980s as cash-strapped governments discovered numismatic exports as a hard-currency income stream. Most were absorbed directly into collector sets and never circulated.
