Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1998 Isle of Man 1 Crown coin is that it features a unique reverse design that commemorates the 200th anniversary of American Independence. The coin's reverse depicts a representation of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, with the figures of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin surrounded by a wreath of olive branches. This design was created by sculptor and engraver, John Mercanti, who is known for his work on various coins and medals, including the American Silver Eagle.
