Nauru issued this coin through a third-party minting arrangement common among Pacific micro-states in the 1990s, when licensing World Cup imagery became a modest revenue stream for nations with no practical connection to the tournament. The 1994 FIFA World Cup was held in the United States — the first and, at that point, only time the host nation had no established top-flight professional league.
