Interesting fact
The 1998 Isle of Man 1 Crown coin commemorating American Independence features a unique reverse design that depicts a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II surrounded by a colonial-style frame, with an image of the American flag and the Liberty Bell in the background. This design was created by sculptor and engraver, John Mercanti, who is known for his work on various coins, including the American Silver Eagle. This coin's design is a nod to the special relationship between the United States and the Isle of Man, as the Isle of Man was a British dependency at the time of American Independence.
