Comment
The 1998 FIFA World Cup was the 16th FIFA World Cup, the football world championship for men's national teams. The finals tournament was held in France from 10 June to 12 July 1998. The country was chosen as the host nation by FIFA for the second time in the history of the tournament (the first was in 1938), defeating Morocco in the bidding process. It was the ninth time that it was held in Europe. Spanning 32 days, it was the longest World Cup tournament ever held.
Interesting fact
The 1000 Pesetas coin minted in 1998 to commemorate Juan Carlos I and the 1998 FIFA World Cup features an error in the design. The coin was meant to show the king's effigy facing towards the right, but due to a mistake during the minting process, some coins were issued with the king's effigy facing towards the left. This error has made the coin highly sought after by collectors, and it is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
