France's back-to-back victories — World Cup on home soil in 1998, then Euro 2000 shared with Belgium and the Netherlands — gave the Monnaie de Paris rare justification for a commemorative doubling down on football glory within a single coin. The timing was precise: this 2000 issue appeared while Zidane and Deschamps were still household names at peak recognition, months after the Euros concluded in Rotterdam.
KM#1262 sits in a crowded field of French football commemoratives from this period, but the double-victory framing is historically specific enough to distinguish it.
