Issued to mark France's hosting of UEFA Euro 2016, this piece belongs to a broader commemorative program the Monnaie de Paris produced across multiple denominations and designs tied to the tournament. The gold-plated ball element is applied post-strike, a finishing technique the Paris mint has used on several modern sports issues to add tactile differentiation without issuing in solid gold.
France won the hosting rights in 2010, beating out Italy and Turkey. The tournament itself ended in defeat for the host nation — Portugal won on extra time in the final at the Stade de France.
