| Additional information |
Part of Gibraltar's sprawling commemorative programme marking the 40th anniversary of England's 1966 World Cup campaign, this piece covers the group stage opener against Uruguay — a match England won 2–0 at Wembley on 11 July, with goals from Bobby Charlton and Roger Hunt. The selective colour application was a selling point of the wider series rather than anything unique to this piece; Gibraltar issued individual coins for each match, creating a set that required buying in bulk to complete.
