Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1999 Isle of Man 1 Crown coin featuring Elizabeth II (Rugby Scrum) is that it was designed by sculptor and engraver, John M. Mills. The coin's unique design depicts a scrum formation in rugby, with the Queen's effigy at the center, surrounded by the players. This design was a departure from the traditional coin designs featuring the Queen's portrait, and it was created to commemorate the 1999 Rugby World Cup, which was held in Wales. The coin's design was well-received by collectors and rugby fans, and it has become a sought-after collectible item.
