| Aanvullende informatie |
UEFA Euro 1996 was awarded to England partly on the strength of its existing stadium infrastructure, ending a thirty-year absence of major tournament football from the country since the 1966 World Cup. The Royal Mint issued this piece as a direct commemorative tie-in — an early example of the Mint's growing appetite for sports-themed circulation commemoratives through the 1990s. It circulated freely alongside standard issues.
The nickel brass composition was a deliberate departure from the bimetallic format the Mint would adopt for its definitive £2 coin just two years later in 1998.
