Comment
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1984 Isle of Man 1 Pound Platinum Proof Piedfort coin is that it features a unique double effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, with both a young and old portrait of the monarch on opposite sides of the coin. This distinctive design was created to commemorate the Queen's 40th anniversary on the throne and adds an extra layer of collectibility to an already rare and valuable coin.
