Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1995 Isle of Man 1 Crown coin is that it features a unique design honoring Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, a German physicist who discovered X-rays in 1895. The coin's reverse side shows a representation of Roentgen's experiment that produced the first X-ray image, with the words "Wilhelm K. Roentgen" and "X-rays" inscribed above and below the image. This coin was issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Roentgen's groundbreaking discovery.
