Ivory Coast issued this piece as part of a wave of small-format gold commemoratives marketed primarily to European collectors around the UEFA Euro 2016 tournament in France. The country had no competitive stake in the tournament — the Ivorian national team plays under CAF, not UEFA — making this a purely commercial issue rather than a national commemoration in any meaningful sense. These fractional gold pieces were produced in the same era as dozens of similar issues from West African CFA franc states, most bearing no relation to the events they nominally commemorate.
