| Reverse description | The central design features the official FIFA World Cup Russia 2018 emblem — a stylized trophy surmounted by a football, set within a shield-shaped polished cartouche — rendered in high relief. The legends 'FIFA WORLD CUP' and 'RUSSIA 2018' are inscribed below the emblem within the cartouche. The surrounding field is densely ornamented with an intricate floral and foliate pattern in the style of traditional Russian decorative art, incorporating repeated depictions of the tournament mascot and architectural silhouettes of Russian churches and towers. |

| Additional information |
France's 2018 World Cup victory in Russia gave this issue an unintended retrospective significance — it was struck before the tournament, as a speculative commemorative, and the host nation's team was eliminated in the quarterfinals while France lifted the trophy. The Monnaie de Paris had backed the right horse without knowing it.
