Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1998 Isle of Man 1 Crown coin is that it features a unique reverse design depicting Queen Elizabeth II crowned with a papal tiara, surrounded by symbols of the Reformation, such as a Bible, a pulpit, and a church. This design commemorates the 450th anniversary of the Reformation of the Church, a significant event in religious history.
