| Additional information |
Germany's 7–1 semifinal demolition of host nation Brazil on July 8, 2014 — the so-called Mineirazo — remains the most lopsided result in World Cup semifinal history. The final against Argentina four days later was decided by Mario Götze's extra-time goal. Burkina Faso issued this piece under the broader wave of CFA-zone commemorative programs that outsource design and striking to European private mints, with the issuing nation's involvement largely nominal.
At one kilogram of .999 silver, the coin was produced for collector sale rather than any circulating purpose. KM#33 is one of several FIFA-licensed issues from this series.
