Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1996 Isle of Man 1 Crown coin featuring Michael Faraday is that it has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins. The coin has a non-standard obverse, which means that the front side of the coin does not feature the usual portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Instead, it features an image of Michael Faraday, a famous British scientist and inventor who was born in 1791 and died in 1867. This is a departure from the standard design used on most coins featuring Queen Elizabeth II, making it a distinctive and collectible item for coin enthusiasts.
