Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Vasco da Gama Silver Proof 1 Crown coin from the Isle of Man is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 500th anniversary of Vasco da Gama's voyage to India. The coin's reverse side depicts a portrait of Vasco da Gama, along with a map of his journey and a representation of the ship he used, the "Santa Maria." This design is surrounded by an ornate border and is made of .925 silver, giving the coin a high level of detail and a luxurious feel.
