| Additional information |
France hosted the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup across nine cities from June to July, with the tournament drawing record television audiences and renewed political pressure on FIFA over the persistent pay gap between men's and women's international football. The Monnaie de Paris issued a geographic series for the event, with each piece in the set representing a different participating confederation — this example covering the African Football Confederation's entrants, which included Nigeria, Cameroon, South Africa, and Mali.
The quarter-euro denomination has no legal tender purchasing function in everyday commerce; it exists purely as a collected object, a format the Monnaie de Paris has used extensively since the early 2000s to produce thematic issues outside the standard circulating series.
