| Additional information |
Ivory Coast was not among the 32 nations that qualified for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany — making this issue one of the more candid examples of the commemorative coin trade's indifference to sporting relevance. These pieces were struck for the collector market, not for circulation, and the CFA franc zone's monetary authority had no direct role in their authorization; such issues were typically licensed through private minting arrangements with the nominal issuing state.
