Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1980 Isle of Man 1 Crown coin is that it features a unique reverse design that commemorates the Lake Placid Winter Olympics, which were held in New York, USA. The coin's reverse depicts a skier in mid-air, with the Olympic rings and the words "Lake Placid Olympics" inscribed above and below the image. This coin was issued as a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation but rather as a collector's item.
