| Additional information |
Gibraltar has issued commemorative crowns in staggering volume since the 1990s, and this piece layers two distinct themes onto a single coin — the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and England's solitary World Cup victory — with no particular connection between them beyond calendar proximity. The 1966 tournament was hosted by England and won 4–2 over West Germany at Wembley, with Geoff Hurst's disputed third goal, ruled in by Soviet linesman Tofik Bakhramov, remaining one of football's most debated moments.
The silver plating on copper-nickel is negligible in thickness and contributes nothing meaningful to collectibility or bullion value.
