Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing a Douglas DC-3 airplane, also known as the Dakota, on the reverse side. This design was chosen to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the first flight of the DC-3, which took place in 1936. The coin's design also includes an image of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse side, as well as the inscription "Isle of Man" and the coin's denomination, "1 Crown." This coin is a rare and collectible item, with a limited mintage of only 10,000 coins.
