Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that showcases Queen Elizabeth II in a Viking warrior's helmet and armor, which is a departure from the traditional depiction of the monarch in a formal crown and robes. This design was created to commemorate the Viking heritage of the Isle of Man, which was a Viking stronghold in the 10th century.
