Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1996 Isle of Man ⅕ Crown - Elizabeth II (Queen Guinevere) coin is that it features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins in the British Crown dependencies. The coin's reverse side depicts a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, but with a twist - she is portrayed wearing a crown and a necklace that resembles a medieval queen's attire, giving the coin a distinctly regal and historic feel. This design was created specifically for the Isle of Man and is not found on any other coins featuring Queen Elizabeth II.
