Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1996 Isle of Man 1 Crown coin commemorating Queen Elizabeth II's 70th birthday is that it features a unique reverse design, depicting a portrait of the Queen in a formal dress, surrounded by a wreath of flowers and plants, which is different from the usual depiction of the Queen on coins.
