Comment
Gold coin was issued with two different portraits - this entry is for first one coin:
- by Arnold Machin - no sport mintmark; die letter G above left swan on coat of arms (coin was issued in 1983 as a part of 4 coins set)
- by Raphael David Maklouf - with sport mintmark; die letter G in center below coat of arms
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, the Ramsey - Machin Head, which was created by sculptor Arnold Machin and first introduced on the Isle of Man's coinage in 1985. The design features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a crown and facing forward, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. The coin's design is considered a departure from the traditional depiction of the Queen on British coins, and it has become a popular collector's item.
