Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1988 Isle of Man 1 Crown coin featuring Elizabeth II (Chaperon) is that it has a unique design feature. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a chapel veil, which is a rare depiction of the monarch. This design was created by sculptor and engraver, Raphael Maklouf, and was specifically commissioned for this coin. The coin's design is a nod to the Isle of Man's rich history and culture, and the chapel veil is a symbol of the island's strong religious heritage.
