Comment
The wrong coat of Arms of Croatia was used - instead of the current one (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Croatia), the one used from 1941 to 1945 by a nazi collaborationist regime was depicted (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_State_of_Croatia).
Interesting fact
The 1996 Elizabeth II (European Football Championship Turkey Croatia) 1 Crown coin from the Isle of Man features a unique design that commemorates the European Football Championship held in England in 1996. The coin's design features a football player in action, with the tournament's logo and the words "European Football Championship" inscribed above, and the name of the tournament and the year "1996" below. This coin is particularly interesting because it highlights the Isle of Man's connection to the British Crown dependencies and its participation in international sports events.
