Interesting fact

The 1970 Isle of Man 1 Crown coin featuring Elizabeth II (Manx Cat) is unique in that it was the first coin to depict the Queen in a non-traditional way, showcasing her in a more relaxed and informal pose, surrounded by Manx cats. This design was a departure from the usual formal portraits of the Queen used on coins and was a bold move by the Isle of Man's mint at the time.
