Germany hosted the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup, and this issue was struck to coincide with it — not a UEFA championship as the coin's marketing name implies. The tournament ran from June to July 2011 across nine German cities, ending in an upset final that saw Japan defeat the United States on penalties in Frankfurt. The German national team, two-time defending world champions in 2003 and 2007, was eliminated in the quarterfinals by Japan.
The .625 silver fineness is characteristic of German collector euros from this period, a deliberate compromise between silver content and production cost that distinguishes the proof issues from the face-value cupro-nickel circulation strikes.
