Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that combines the image of King Charles III with a depiction of a Cetiosaurus, a prehistoric marine reptile that lived during the Jurassic period. This design is a nod to the Isle of Man's rich history of dinosaur fossil discoveries and highlights the island's connection to the natural world.
