2014 FIFA WORLD CUP PARTICIPATION MEDAL
Presented here is a 2014 FIFA World Cup gold participation medal. Hosted by Brazil, the 2014 World Cup was won by Germany (their 4th title) who defeated Argentina 1-0 in the Final. The host nation finished in fourth after suffering one of their worst ever losses to Germany in the Semifinals, a 7-1 thrashing that also saw Brazil lose its star, Neymar, to a serious back injury. In the third place game, Brazil was shut out 3-0 by the Netherlands.
Issued by FIFA, these medal were distributed only to players, coaches, high-level executives among the 32 National Teams in the tournament, as well as a select number of important FIFA officials. The obverse features a relief image of the 2014 World Cup Brazil logo with "FIFA WORLD CUP Brasil" and a tiny stamping of the manufacturer ("R.C."). The reverse has a relief image of the Jules Rimet World Cup trophy and text at the top reading "2014 FIFA WORLD CUP BRAZIL". The medal (diameter 51 mm; weight 60 g) appears to be made of gold-plated silver or bronze. Presented in exceptional condition, with no blemishes to speak of, and comes in its original black FIFA presentation case.
