Struck in “Pearl Black” Copper-Nickel but also in bright finish ("normal" Copper-Nickel):
Interesting fact
The 1990 Isle of Man 1 Crown coin, also known as the "Penny Black," features a unique design that commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Penny Black postage stamp, which was the first adhesive postage stamp in the world. The coin's design includes an image of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a reproduction of the Penny Black stamp on the other. This coin is a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation and was instead produced for collectors.
