Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2013 Isle of Man 1 Crown coin featuring Elizabeth II (St. Patrick) is that it has a unique reverse design that showcases a stylized image of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, standing on a hill with a shamrock in his hand. The shamrock is a symbol of Ireland and is said to have been used by St. Patrick to explain the Holy Trinity to the pagan Irish. The coin's design is the work of sculptor and engraver, Ian Rank-Broadley, who is known for his iconic portrayals of royalty and historical figures.
