Comment
Issue formed part of the 4-coin set - International Year of the DisabledInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1981 Isle of Man 1 Crown coin featuring Louis Braille is that it was issued to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Braille's birth. Braille was a French inventor who developed the Braille system, a method of reading and writing for blind and visually impaired people. The coin's design features a portrait of Braille, along with a depiction of the Braille alphabet and the words "Louis Braille" in both English and Braille. This coin is a unique and interesting tribute to an important historical figure, and its silver composition and proof finish make it a valuable collector's item.
