Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique double-portrait design, with Queen Elizabeth II on one side and Queen Victoria on the other. This is a nod to the fact that Queen Victoria was the reigning monarch when the Isle of Man first began issuing its own coins in 1840, and Queen Elizabeth II was the reigning monarch when this particular coin was issued in 2006. This design element serves as a way to connect the coin's issuance to the rich history of the Isle of Man's coinage.
