Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1995 Isle of Man 1 Crown coin is that it features a unique design depicting Chang Heng's seismograph, a device used to detect earthquakes. This design was chosen to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Chang Heng's invention. The coin's design also includes an image of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse side, as it is a British Crown dependency coin.
