Interesting fact

The 1995 Isle of Man 1 Crown coin featuring Elizabeth II (Chang Heng) is unique in that it was produced with a special "proof" finish, giving it a highly polished and detailed appearance. This process involves multiple strikes of the die to create a sharp, mirror-like finish on the coin's surface. Additionally, the coin's copper-nickel composition and 28.28g weight make it stand out from other coins in the series.
