Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1999 Isle of Man ⅕ Sovereign - Elizabeth II (Gold Ingots) coin is that it has a unique design feature. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse side features a gold ingot, which gives the coin its name. This design element makes the coin stand out from other coins in the Sovereign series, which typically feature a traditional design of St. Edward's Crown on the reverse. The inclusion of the gold ingot on the coin serves as a nod to the Isle of Man's rich history of gold mining and its reputation for producing high-quality gold.
