Comment
Similar to KM#638, but 'WINNER' replaces Russian shieldInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, showcasing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a crown, surrounded by the inscription "EURO 1996-WINNER" and the Isle of Man's coat of arms. This design was specifically created to commemorate the Isle of Man's participation in the European Football Championship in 1996.
