The year, 1996, is an abstract noun. Words for periods of time are abstract nouns, words for a concept, words like today, Monday, July, year, moment, month, etc.

The number, 1996 in general is an abstract noun, also a word for a concept. Any number is a concept (the score is 1996 to 10; I have 1996 days of my sentence left to serve).

A count of 1996 of something is a concrete noun for things you count physically (or on paper) because you can count those people or things physically. Perhaps easier to understand with a count of twelve, like seeing or touching twelve eggs in a carton.
