| Additional information |
Gibraltar has issued commemorative coinage under Royal Mint-style licensing since the 1990s, producing an enormous volume of themed collector pieces that have little to do with the territory itself. This one marks the 40th anniversary of England's 1966 World Cup final victory over West Germany — the only time England has won the tournament, decided 4–2 after extra time at Wembley, with Geoff Hurst's disputed third goal still argued over in German football circles. The selective colour application was a fashionable production technique of the mid-2000s collector market.
