| Reverse description | A Brazilian football player wearing the national team kit, with the Brazilian national emblem visible on the shirt, is depicted in a dynamic sliding celebration pose in the central field, arms outstretched and body lowered toward the ground. A horizontal line separates the figure from the lower inscription area, where the word BRAZIL appears prominently. Below a second horizontal rule, Brazil's five FIFA World Cup victory years are listed in two rows with star ornaments: 1958, 1962, and 1970 on the first line, and 1994 and 2002 on the second. The curved legend FOR THE 2014 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP OF FOOTBALL arcs along the upper periphery. |

Cameroon's 100 Francs issues of this era were produced by private minting contractors — primarily Bavarian mints operating on license — as part of a broader wave of legal-tender collector coinage that flooded the market in the early 2010s. The issuing authority held nominal sovereignty over the denomination, but the coins were designed, struck, and distributed with virtually no connection to Cameroonian commerce or monetary policy. They were never intended to circulate.
The "Brazil" designation places this within a thematic series tied to the 2014 FIFA World Cup cycle, when dozens of small-nation issuers produced similar pieces targeting the collector and gift market.
