Additional information

Romania qualified for the 1998 World Cup in France after finishing second in UEFA qualifying Group 8, and the squad — built around Gheorghe Hagi at the height of his powers — reached the quarterfinals before losing to Croatia. The National Bank issued this piece as part of a broader commemorative program tied to French-hosted tournament; Romania had previous form with such issues, having struck coins for the 1994 competition in which they memorably defeated Argentina.
