Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 2008 European Football Championship, also known as Euro 2008, which was held in Austria and Switzerland. The coin features a design depicting a football player in action, surrounded by the tournament's logo and the words "Championnat d'Europe de Football 2008" (European Football Championship 2008) in French. The use of gold and a relatively low mintage of 1,500 coins make it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists and football enthusiasts alike.
