Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Crown - Elizabeth II (The Ugly Duckling) 2005 from Isle of Man (British Crown dependencies) coin is that it features an image of a duckling on the reverse side, which is a unique design element for a coin. The duckling is depicted in a standing position, with its feathers fluffed up, giving it a cute and endearing appearance. This design was chosen to represent the theme of "The Ugly Duckling," a well-known story by Hans Christian Andersen, which tells the tale of a duckling who is rejected by his family and peers because of his appearance but eventually matures into a beautiful swan. The inclusion of this design element on the coin adds a touch of whimsy and charm to an otherwise traditional coin design, making it a standout piece in the world of numismatics.
