On the occasion of the FIFA World Cup Russia 2018, the Monnaie de Paris presents a series of 5 different coins. The face represents the trophy and the name of the competition, inserted in a set of symbols evoking both football and Russian culture. The visual of the face is the same for the different denominations. The reverse side features a player in the act of shooting. The background is composed of a ball flying through a Russian landscape, symbolised by the bulbs of cathedrals. The design of the reverse side is the same for all denominations except for the value of the coin.

The Football World Cup or FIFA™ World Cup is an international football competition that takes place every four years. Created in 1928 in France, it is open to all federations recognised by FIFA. The FIFA™ World Cup was founded following the success of the Olympic Games. As football is one of the most popular sports in the world, the President of the time, Jules Rimet, thought it would be interesting to organise a world championship entirely dedicated to football.
Today, football has managed to establish itself as the most popular sport in the world. It has conquered entire nations and now has almost two hundred million registered players.
During the 2014 FIFA™ World Cup held in Brazil, there were more than 3.2 billion viewers who watched the competition worldwide and more than one billion for the final alone.
