Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1997 Isle of Man 1 Crown coin is that it features a unique design commemorating the 1,300th anniversary of the flight of Mohammed from Mecca to Medina, also known as the Hijra. This event is considered a significant milestone in Islamic history and is celebrated by Muslims around the world. The coin's design features a depiction of Mohammed and his companion Abu Bakr, as well as the Kaaba in Mecca, and is a rare example of Islamic-themed numismatics.
