Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1985 Isle of Man 1 Pound coin featuring Elizabeth II (Ramsey) is that it was the first coin to be issued by the Isle of Man that featured a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II that was not based on a British design. Instead, the coin's design was created by the Manx artist, John S. Mills, and features a unique portrait of the Queen that was specifically created for the Isle of Man. This makes the coin stand out from other coins featuring the Queen that were issued around the same time.
