The BCEAO issued this piece retroactively — the tournament concluded in July 2006, yet the coin was struck in 2007. Post-event commemoratives of this kind were common among West African monetary unions during the 2000s, typically contracted through European private mints rather than produced by member-state facilities. The BCEAO has no minting infrastructure of its own; production almost certainly went through Monnaie de Paris or a comparable third-party operation under licensing arrangement.
Germany 2006 was the first World Cup held in unified Germany, and the final between Italy and France ended in Zidane's headbutt dismissal — the tournament's defining moment, entirely absent from any coin's authority to capture.
