Issued to mark the 1990 FIFA World Cup held in Italy, this Gibraltar crown is one of several designs released in a series that leaned heavily on the tournament's global theme. Gibraltar's FA, founded in 1895, would not gain UEFA membership until 2013 — a decades-long political dispute with Spain blocking affiliation — making football commemoratives from this territory carry a quiet irony.
