Talent24h reports that Spain's Royal Mint released a special 5-euro silver coin to honor Spain's 2026 World Cup win. The reported mintage is 50,000 pieces, each priced at more than 60 euros before tax. The design reportedly features King Felipe VI and symbols of both Spanish world titles.

A report by Talent24h says Spain's Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre-Real Casa de la Moneda (FNMT) issued a collector's coin to mark the national team's 2026 FIFA World Cup victory. It gives the coin a face value of 5 euros, a mintage of 50,000 and an initial price of 60.33 euros before VAT.

Talent24h says sales began on July 31 through the Casa de la Moneda Museum shop in Madrid and the FNMT online store, with authorized distributors also selling the coin. The report describes it as a collector's item, not a coin for everyday use.

Price and Value

The reported retail price is far above the 5-euro face value. Talent24h attributes the difference to the coin's silver content and production, as well as its collectible status. The report also describes a government pricing rule that could allow adjustments if precious-metal market prices moved by more than 4% against the previous month's average, following reports from the Bank of Spain and the FNMT.

Technical Details

The reported specifications describe a circular coin made of 925-fineness silver, with copper making up the rest of the alloy. It weighs 13.50 grams, with a tolerance of 0.20 grams, and measures 33 millimeters in diameter. It has a milled edge and a Proof finish, used on collector issues to bring out fine detail and contrast between the coin's surfaces.

The reported mintage is 50,000. Talent24h compares it with a purported FNMT 10-euro issue marking the Council of State's 500th anniversary, which it says was limited to 4,000 pieces.

Design Elements

Information from Talent24h, the obverse shows King Felipe VI in left profile, with “Felipe VI Rey de España” above the portrait and the year 2026 below it. Two dots flank the year, while a pearl border surrounds the design.

The reported reverse features the FIFA World Cup 2026 logo, the words “Campeones del Mundo” and a colored image of the trophy. Two five-pointed stars represent Spain's two men's World Cup titles; one is rendered in the colors of the Spanish flag. The report also lists the mint mark and 5-euro denomination as design elements.

The 2026 final was reported as a 1-0 victory for Spain over Argentina after extra time, with Ferran Torres scoring the decisive goal. The Associated Press reported that Torres struck 37 seconds into the second extra-time period at MetLife Stadium, in front of a crowd of 80,663. RTÉ Sport also described Spain as two-time world champions. Those match details provide sporting context for the commemorative claim, but do not verify the coin's specifications.

Where to Buy

Talent24h lists the Casa de la Moneda Museum shop at Doctor Esquerdo, 36, in Madrid and the FNMT online store as sales channels, alongside authorized distributors. Its account presents the issue as a keepsake for collectors and football supporters marking Spain's tournament win.

The report also places the coin in Spain's wider numismatic history, referring to a 20-euro coin associated with the 2010 World Cup victory and silver and gold issues connected with Spain's participation in the 2026 tournament. It describes this purported 5-euro piece as explicitly commemorating the national team's latest world title.
