| Additional information |
Ivory Coast had no footballing connection to Euro 2008 — the tournament was contested in Austria and Switzerland by European nations, and the Ivorian national team does not compete in UEFA competitions. This is a licensed commemorative produced purely for the collector market, a category that flourished in the 2000s among West African CFA franc issuers whose minting agreements with European private mints generated revenue without any obligation of circulation.
