Brazil's Central Bank issued a sprawling series of bimetallic commemoratives for the Rio 2016 Games, with individual sports parceled across multiple years of release — this soccer piece dated 2015 appearing a full year before the opening ceremony. Soccer carried particular political weight for the host nation: Brazil's catastrophic 7–1 defeat to Germany in the 2014 World Cup semifinal, played on home soil, made the Maracanã a charged venue heading into the Olympics. The men's tournament would eventually deliver Brazil's first Olympic gold in the sport, defeating Germany in the final on penalties.
