Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1997 Isle of Man 1 Crown - Elizabeth II (Year of the Ox; Silver Proof) coin is that it features a unique ox design on the reverse side, which was created by the Manx artist, John S. Timpson. The design depicts an ox standing on a hillside, surrounded by a verdant landscape, and is meant to represent the strength and resilience of the Manx people. The coin's design is particularly notable because it was the first time that a non-human subject had been featured on a Manx coin.
