| Additional information |
Togo's participation in this series was purely a licensing arrangement — the country had no footballers at the 2006 World Cup in Germany, having failed to qualify for that tournament when this coin was struck in 2001. Togo would eventually reach its first and only World Cup in 2006, but that qualification came years after this piece was already in collectors' hands.
