Description
Hello,
I am selling this Two Pounds Coin to Celebrate The Tenth European Championships 1996 that I have had for some time.
These collectable coins were released by The Royal Mint in the run-up to the 1996 UEFA European Championships which was hosted by England.
The competition - known informally as the Euros - has been held every four years since 1960. The England team didn’t win Euro 96 and haven’t taken home the trophy yet but that hasn’t stopped this commemorative £2 from becoming popular among sporting fans and collectors of British coins.
They feature a simple but instantly recognisable football design, crafted by sculptor John Wills. The date appears in the middle, surrounded by small rings, representing the sixteen participating teams. The edge reads ‘TENTH EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP’ and you’ll find a youthful portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the head’s side.
This coin is in great condition and has not been removed from its original plastic case from new, and is known as a brilliant uncirculated coin or BU.
If you are a football fan who collects memorabilia, this coin is a must have.
Any questions, please contact me.
