Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1996 Isle of Man Elizabeth II (Cricket; Silver Proof) coin is that it features a unique cricket-themed design, with an image of a cricket bat and ball on the reverse side, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. This design was created to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Isle of Man Cricket Association. The coin's design is particularly notable because it is a departure from the traditional coin designs featuring the monarch's portrait, and it showcases the island's rich history and culture.
