Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2004 Isle of Man 1 Crown coin is that it features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a representation of the Croix de Guerre, a French military decoration awarded to soldiers who have shown bravery in combat. This design was chosen to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the D-Day landings during World War II, which took place in 1944. The coin's design serves as a symbol of the Isle of Man's historical and cultural ties to France and the Allied forces during the war.
