Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1987 Isle of Man 10 Crowns coin is that it features a unique reverse design, depicting a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II in a crown and robes, surrounded by the inscription "ELIZABETH II FREMANTLE 1987" and the coin's denomination. This design was created by sculptor and engraver, Michael Rizzello, and was specifically commissioned for this coin. The coin's unusual design and limited mintage make it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
