| Additional information |
Israel's commemorative gold program has long used international sporting events as an excuse to produce low-mintage issues for the collector market, and this piece is no exception. The 2006 FIFA World Cup was held entirely in Germany — the first time a unified Germany hosted the tournament, and a politically loaded choice given the country's mid-2000s efforts to reframe its global image through major public events.
Struck two years before the tournament itself, which was standard practice for Israeli commemoratives sold through advance subscription.
