Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Crown - Elizabeth II (Gandalf) 2003 from Isle of Man (British Crown dependencies) is that it features an image of Gandalf, a character from J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth stories, on the reverse side of the coin. This coin was issued as part of a series of coins celebrating the life and works of Tolkien, who was a professor at Oxford University and a frequent visitor to the Isle of Man. The coin's design was created by sculptor and engraver Ian Rank-Broadley, who is known for his work on various coins and medals, including the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II that appears on many Commonwealth coins.
