Comment
Part of a six coin setInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1988 Isle of Man 1 Crown coin is that it features a unique reverse design that commemorates the bicentenary of Australia's discovery by Captain James Cook in 1770. The design depicts a portrait of Captain Cook and a map of Australia, surrounded by a wreath of eucalyptus leaves. This coin was issued as a non-circulating legal tender coin by the Isle of Man, a British Crown dependency, to celebrate this significant historical event.
