Spain minted a new silver euro coin to mark the men’s football team’s 2026 World Cup win in a limited run of 50,000 pieces.
The National Mint and Stamp Factory-Royal Mint, known as FNMT-RCM, announced the coin on July 29. Spain beat Argentina 1-0 in the World Cup final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Ferran Torres scored the winning goal in extra time. The result gave Spain its second World Cup title.
The mint said the win ranks among the greatest moments in Spanish sports history. According to the mint, the victory’s impact reached beyond football and turned into a moment of pride across the country. The mint said the new coin preserves that achievement as part of Spain’s numismatic heritage.
Spain mints a five-euro coin with king and trophy design
The front of the coin shows a left-facing portrait of King Felipe VI. The words “Felipe VI Rey de España” circle the top of the portrait. The year 2026 appears at the bottom between two dots. A ring of small beads borders the design.
The back carries the World Cup imagery. The FIFA World Cup 26 logo sits at the top. The words “Campeones del Mundo,” Spanish for ‘World Champions,’ run along the bottom. A color image of the tournament trophy fills the center.
A five-pointed star over the colors of the Spanish flag appears on the right, next to the coin’s face value of 5 euros. The mint’s official mark and a second star appear on the left.
Coin goes on sale following 2010 World Cup precedent
The coin is made of silver at 925 thousandths purity, with copper making up the rest. It weighs 13.50 grams and measures 33 millimeters across. It is round, with a grooved edge and a proof finish. It will sell for 60.33 euros, tax not included.
The coin goes on sale July 31 at the Museo Casa de la Moneda store in Madrid, through the mint’s online store, and through approved sellers.
This is not the first euro coin Spain has minted for a World Cup win. Since 2025, the mint has issued silver 10-euro coins and gold coins worth 100 and 400 euros, each showing a generic image of a player and a ball, to mark Spain’s run through the tournament. The mint also released a coin after Spain’s 2010 World Cup win in South Africa.
