Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Crown - Elizabeth II (Martin Frobisher) 2001 from Isle of Man (British Crown dependencies) coin is that it commemorates the 400th anniversary of Martin Frobisher's voyage to the New World in 1576. Frobisher was an English navigator who led an expedition to the New World in search of a new trade route to the Pacific. He landed on the coast of Labrador and explored the area, which later became part of Canada. The coin's design features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of Frobisher's ship, the "Gabriel," on the other.
