EUROPEAN FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP '96 "First Floodlit Match" Royal Mint Issue Silver Medal.

England was the place where not only the rules of modern football were laid down, but also where technical innovations furthered its development. An important date in the history of football was October 14, 1878. On the evening of this date, the first floodlit match in the world was held at the Bramall Lane stadium in Sheffield, the town where the first football club had been founded back in 1857.
