The 1996 European Football Championship £2 Gold Proof Coin was struck by The Royal Mint in 22 carat gold to commemorate the UEFA European Football Championship, hosted by England in 1996. The reverse features a distinctive football-inspired design by John Mills, incorporating the date 1996 within the central panel of a football, surrounded by sixteen small circles representing the competing nations.

The obverse features Raphael Maklouf's third definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This proof example has been professionally graded PF70 Ultra Cameo by NGC, recognising a flawless proof coin with exceptional contrast between its frosted design and deeply mirrored fields.

Celebrating one of the most memorable football tournaments held in England, this £2 gold proof coin combines sporting heritage, a distinctive commemorative design and a perfect certified PF70 Ultra Cameo grade, making it a highly desirable addition to a British commemorative gold coin collection.
