Interesting fact
The 1996 Isle of Man 1 Crown coin featuring Elizabeth II (Swimming) was designed by sculptor and engraver, Ian Rank-Broadley. His design was chosen as the winning entry in a competition organized by the Isle of Man Government to create a new coin to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Queen's accession to the throne. The coin's design features a swimming theme, which was a nod to the Queen's love of swimming and her involvement in various aquatic-related charities.
