Interesting fact
The 1995 Isle of Man 1 Crown coin featuring Elizabeth II (Fox-Talbot) is interesting because it was issued to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the invention of the photographic negative by William Henry Fox Talbot, who was born on the Isle of Man. The coin's design features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and an image of Talbot's famous photographic negative, "The Open Door," on the other. This coin is a unique blend of history, photography, and numismatics.
