| Additional information |
The Republic of the Congo — not to be confused with the neighboring Democratic Republic — has issued commemorative silver under BEAC authority, though pieces like this one circulated well outside any conventional monetary framework. FIFA licensing agreements in the mid-2000s produced a flood of nominally African-issued World Cup coins, most destined for European collector markets rather than Brazzaville cash registers. Germany 2006 was the first World Cup hosted by a reunified Germany, and the tournament's organization drew on infrastructure investments that dated back to the failed 2000 bid.
