Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅕ Crown - Elizabeth II (Year of the Goat) 2003 from Isle of Man (British Crown dependencies) is that it has a unique design feature. The coin features a goat's head on the obverse side, which is not a common design element for coins. The goat's head is depicted in a naturalistic style, with detailed fur textures and a lifelike expression. This design choice was made to commemorate the Year of the Goat, which is a significant event in the Chinese lunar calendar. The inclusion of this design element makes the coin stand out from other coins in the series and adds to its collectibility.
