Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1996 Isle of Man 1 Crown coin featuring Sir Lancelot is that it was part of a series of coins issued to commemorate the 1000th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings, which took place in 1066. The coin's design features a depiction of Sir Lancelot, a prominent knight of King Arthur's Round Table, on horseback, with a shield bearing the three lions of England. The coin's mintage was limited to 10,000 pieces, making it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
