France '38 holds a peculiar place in football history: it was the last World Cup before a twelve-year suspension caused by World War II, and the tournament itself was played under the shadow of European political crisis, with several invited nations withdrawing rather than travel. Austria's slot disappeared entirely after the Anschluss absorbed the Austrian national team into Germany's squad months before the tournament began.
Togo's commemorative program of the early 2000s leaned heavily on global sporting anniversaries — this KM#36 being one of several retrospective issues with no direct national connection to the events depicted.
