Being England, the competition ultimately ended in heartbreak as the Three Lions, featuring the likes of Paul Gascoigne, lost out on penalties in the semi-final to Germany. The Britannia Coin Company said: "These collectable coins were released by The Royal Mint in the run-up to the 1996 UEFA European Championships which was hosted by England," reports the Mirror.

作為英格蘭隊，這場比賽最終以令人心碎的方式結束，以保羅·加斯科因等為代表的三獅軍團在半決賽中點球大戰中輸給了德國隊。據《鏡報》報道，大不列顛硬幣公司表示：“這些具有收藏價值的硬幣是由英國皇家造幣廠在英格蘭主辦的 1996 年歐洲錦標賽前夕發行的。”

"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."

「這項賽事，非正式地稱為歐洲杯，自1960 年以來每四年舉行一次。英格蘭隊沒有贏得96 屆歐洲杯，也還沒有把獎杯帶回家，但這並沒有阻止這款2 英鎊紀念幣的流行。

Currently, coin collectors can buy one from dealer Chards for a cool £1,269.05. Meanwhile, eBay traders are pushing variations with price tags of £1,996 and £2,990.

目前，硬幣收藏家可以從經銷商 Chards 處以 1,269.05 英鎊的價格購買一枚。與此同時，eBay 交易員正在推出標價為 1,996 英鎊和 2,990 英鎊的版本。
