Pobjoy Mint struck this crown for the Isle of Man under a licensing arrangement that produced dozens of commemorative issues annually through the 1990s — a volume program that collectors have long debated in terms of long-term value retention. The 1998 FIFA World Cup hosted by France drew 32 national teams for the first time, an expanded format introduced that tournament.
KM#810a designates the silver variant; a cupro-nickel version was struck simultaneously in far greater numbers.
