The legend 'RIPABLIK BLONG VANUATU' arcs around the upper periphery, with the date '2006' incorporated into the design above the arms. |

| Additional information |
Vanuatu has no national football federation affiliated with FIFA and did not participate in the 2006 World Cup qualification rounds, making this a purely commercial commemorative issued to capitalize on global tournament interest rather than any domestic footballing connection. The Reserve Bank of Vanuatu produced numerous such licensed commemoratives during the 2000s, targeting the collector market rather than circulation.
