| Obverse description | Central design depicts a dynamic football scene in which a player, rendered in high relief, lunges forward to score a goal, with the goalkeeper's net filling the right portion of the field. The athletic figure is shown in profile with arms outstretched and a football entering the upper right corner of the net, conveying dramatic motion and energy. The legend COPA DO MUNDO DA FIFA arcs along the upper periphery in incuse Latin lettering, while BRASIL 2014 appears in the lower field. The composition is framed by a raised rim with a clean, unadorned border. |

Brazil's 2014 World Cup produced one of the most politically charged tournaments in recent memory — widespread protests over the estimated R$28 billion in public spending preceded the opening match in São Paulo. The Banco Central do Brasil issued a full commemorative series across multiple designs, of which this is one piece, each tied to a specific aspect of play rather than the tournament as a whole.
KM#696 is among the more common survivors from the set, largely sold directly to collectors rather than released into general circulation.
