France hosted UEFA Euro 2016 under extraordinary security conditions — the tournament took place just seven months after the November 2015 Paris attacks, with over 90,000 security personnel deployed across venues. Monnaie de Paris issued this piece as part of a broader commemorative program tied to the tournament, which saw 24 national teams compete for the first time after UEFA expanded the format from 16.
At 1.8 grams, this is a fractional bullion-adjacent issue rather than a circulation piece — its face value nominal at best.
