| Reverse description | The central device depicts a stylized football rendered as a globe, with the continents of the world mapped onto its surface, emphasizing the international character of the tournament. Superimposed at the centre of the globe is a schematic representation of the Brandenburg Gate, a symbol of German national identity and reunification. The circular legend along the upper arc reads 'FIFA FUSSBALL - WELTMEISTERSCHAFT' and along the lower arc 'DEUTSCHLAND 2006', separated by dot stops. The overall composition conveys the fusion of global sport and German national pride. The design was created by engraver Lucia Maria Hardegen. |

| Additional information |
Germany's hosting of the 2006 FIFA World Cup prompted a coordinated federal minting program across all five German mints — Berlin, Hamburg, Karlsruhe, Munich, and Stuttgart — each striking this issue simultaneously, distinguished only by their respective mint marks (A, J, G, D, F). The German federal mint system rarely mobilizes all five facilities for a single commemorative, making the complete mint mark set a legitimate collecting objective rather than an artificial one.
The tournament itself ended with Italy defeating France on penalties in Berlin — on German soil, not a German victory.
