Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1995 Isle of Man 1 Crown coin is that it features a unique reverse design depicting a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, created by the Japanese artist Abe and Kawachi. This design was specifically commissioned by the Isle of Man government to commemorate the Queen's 60th birthday. The coin's design is considered a departure from the traditional depictions of the Queen on British coins, and it has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
