| Additional information |
Italy's 2006 World Cup victory in Berlin — decided on penalties against France after Zidane's headbutt sent the match into extra time — gave this issue an unplanned retrospective resonance. The coin was struck before the tournament concluded, yet Italy won it for the fourth time, making domestic demand sharper than the mint had anticipated for a pre-release commemorative.
