Pobjoy Mint produced this piece for one of the smaller British Overseas Territories or Commonwealth jurisdictions that routinely issued themed commemoratives around the 2012 European Championship and Olympic football coverage. The "double portrait" designation refers to a paired obverse treatment Pobjoy used across several of their licensed territory issues in this period — a commercial decision as much as a numismatic one.
These issues were struck in quantity for the collector market and saw essentially no circulation.
