Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a representation of the island's symbol, the Manx cat, on the other. The Manx cat is a breed of cat that originated on the Isle of Man and is known for its distinctive lack of a tail. This design was created by the Isle of Man's local artist, John S. Timpson, and was specifically commissioned for this coin.
