| Additional information |
France did not qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil through conventional means — they secured their spot only after a dramatic two-legged playoff against Ukraine, winning 3–2 on aggregate. The Monnaie de Paris issued this piece under its ongoing programme of FIFA-licensed commemoratives, which has produced gold strikes at multiple price points tied to each tournament cycle.
At 155.5 grams of .999 gold, the coin's bullion value dominates its market price. Mintage for the 500 Euro denomination was tightly restricted — a deliberate ceiling that has kept secondary market premiums firm since issue.
