Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1990 Isle of Man 5 Crowns - Elizabeth II (Penny Black; Gold Proof) coin is that it features a unique reverse design, showcasing a reproduction of the iconic Penny Black stamp, which was the first adhesive postage stamp issued in the United Kingdom in 1840.
