The Isle of Man Treasury has issued football commemoratives for every World Cup since 1982, making the series more a publishing schedule than a numismatic event. France 98 attracted 37 nations to the qualifying rounds and ultimately ended with the host nation defeating Brazil 3–0 in the final at the Stade de France — Zinedine Zidane scoring twice with headers in the first half.
Pobjoy Mint struck the copper-nickel circulation-quality pieces for general sale alongside silver and gold versions of the same type.
