Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1979 Isle of Man 1 Crown coin is that it features a unique reverse design that showcases the Manx cat, a breed of cat that originated on the Isle of Man and is known for its lack of a tail. The coin's reverse was designed by sculptor and engraver, Michael Rizzello, and it depicts a Manx cat sitting on a rocky outcrop, surrounded by seaweed and shells. This design was specifically chosen to highlight the island's unique cultural heritage and natural beauty.
