Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1997 Isle of Man 2 Pound coin featuring Elizabeth II (Three race cars - large head) is that it was the first bi-metallic coin to be issued by the Isle of Man. The coin's unique design, featuring a copper-nickel center within a brass ring, was a departure from the traditional coins issued by the Isle of Man and added an extra layer of security against counterfeiting.
