Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1995 Isle of Man 1 Crown coin is that it features a unique design element - a ballpoint pen nib - which is incorporated into the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse side of the coin. This distinctive feature was created to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the invention of the ballpoint pen, which was invented by László Bíró, a Hungarian newspaper editor, in 1938. The use of this design element on the coin adds an interesting touch of innovation and creativity to the coin's design, making it stand out among other coins.
