| Additional information |
Issued retroactively in 2021 but backdated in theme to the 2002 FIFA World Cup — the first tournament co-hosted by two nations, and the first held in Asia — this is a fractional bullion piece riding a long tail of commemorative licensing rather than any contemporaneous minting event. South Korea's unexpected run to the semifinals that year remains one of the most disputed tournament runs in modern football, generating controversy that has not fully dissipated in the two decades since.
