| Reverse description | The reverse features a stylized outline map of Brazil rendered in the field, its borders formed by interlocking football panel shapes that evoke the surface of a soccer ball. At center-right, the official FIFA World Cup trophy logo is depicted in relief, accompanied by the inscriptions FIFA WORLD CUP and Brasil beneath it. To the left of the map, the denomination 2 REAIS is inscribed in two lines, with the numeral prominently displayed above the unit. The date 2014 appears in the lower left field. The overall design integrates cartographic and sporting iconography in a unified, modernist composition. |

| Additional information |
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.
