Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1999 Isle of Man 1 Crown - Elizabeth II (Sophie Rhys-Jones; Silver Proof) coin is that it features a unique portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley. The portrait is based on a photograph taken by photographer Sophie Rhys-Jones, and it shows the Queen wearing a crown and a necklace that was originally owned by Queen Victoria. This portrait was used on several other coins and became known as the "Rank-Broadley" portrait.
