Interesting fact

The 10 Pence coin from the Isle of Man featuring Elizabeth II (Falcon) has a unique feature - it has a mistake in the design. The falcon on the coin is depicted with its wings spread, but if you look closely, you'll notice that the wings are actually mirrored, meaning the left wing is on the right side and vice versa. This error was not corrected, and the coin was still released into circulation. This mistake makes the coin a rare and interesting collector's item.
