Additional information

The 1996 UEFA European Championship was held in England — the first major international tournament on English soil since the 1966 World Cup. Spain and France, paired here as the subject, both exited before the final; Germany took the title with a golden goal in extra time against the Czech Republic, the first use of that rule in a major final.

The Isle of Man has issued commemorative crowns prolifically since the 1970s, partnering with the Pobjoy Mint to produce themed series targeting collector markets rather than circulation. KM#641 is one of several pairings in this particular Euro 96 set, each featuring a different national matchup.
