Interesting fact
The 100 Francs (World Cup) 1997 coin was minted to commemorate France's hosting of the 1998 FIFA World Cup. The coin features a soccer player in action on the obverse (front side), and the reverse (back side) features the official logo of the 1998 FIFA World Cup. The coin was minted in gold (.920) and has a weight of 17 grams. It was a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation and was instead sold at a premium price as a collector's item.
