| Additional information |
Gibraltar has used Crown-sized commemoratives as a revenue stream since the 1970s, issuing them in volume for events ranging from royal milestones to sporting occasions. The 1998 FIFA World Cup, hosted jointly by France, prompted a wave of such issues across small British territories. Gibraltar's football-themed crown is one of dozens released by various issuers that year, with no particular distinction in mintage or distribution that sets it apart from the broader commemorative flood.
