| Additional information |
Russia issued this piece specifically to mark the 2002 FIFA World Cup, co-hosted by South Korea and Japan — the first World Cup held in Asia and the first co-hosted by two nations. The Bank of Russia produced a substantial commemorative program around the tournament, with this kilogram-class piece sitting at the top of the range. Russia qualified for the 2002 finals but was eliminated in the group stage without winning a match, a campaign widely considered one of the most disappointing in the national team's history.
