| Additional information |
The Gambia has no footballing connection to UEFA Euro 2016 — the country is neither a UEFA member nor a participant in European football — making this a purely commercial issue, produced for the souvenir and collector market rather than any domestic commemorative purpose. The rectangular format and fractional gold weight place it squarely within a wave of similar issues that flooded the market from various African central banks around major sporting events in the 2010s, most struck under contract by private mints in Europe.
