| Additional information |
Italy's fourth World Cup victory, secured in Berlin on July 9, 2006, came on penalty kicks against France following Zidane's infamous headbutt on Materazzi in extra time. The Zecca dello Stato moved quickly — this commemorative was authorized and struck within the same calendar year as the tournament, an unusually fast turnaround for a themed issue of this weight class.
