Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, showcasing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, which was specifically created for the Isle of Man's 2021 coinage. The design is the work of sculptor and engraver, Jody Clark, who is known for his exceptional skill in capturing the finest details and nuances of his subjects. The coin's obverse, or front side, features the traditional effigy of the Queen, while the reverse showcases a more relaxed and natural portrait of Her Majesty, set against a beautiful, textured background. This unique design combination makes the coin a truly special piece for collectors and enthusiasts.
