Gibraltar's Crown series from the 1990s flooded the market with commemorative copper-nickel issues timed to virtually every major international sporting event, and this Euro '96 piece is squarely part of that output. England hosted the tournament that summer — the first major international football competition held there since 1966 — with Germany ultimately winning the final against the Czech Republic on a golden goal at Wembley.
KM#359 is one of several distinct Crown issues Gibraltar released for Euro '96, each assigned a separate KM number.
