Interesting fact

The 10 pence coin from the Isle of Man featuring Elizabeth II's 3rd portrait has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins of the same denomination from the UK or other British Crown dependencies. The coin's obverse (front) side features a cameo portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse (back) side features a depiction of a Viking longship, which is a nod to the island's Viking heritage. This design was created by sculptor John S. Mills and was used on Isle of Man coins from 1996 to 1997.
