Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, showcasing the Legislative Building in the Isle of Man, which was built in 1894 and served as the home of the Island's parliament for over 100 years. The coin's design was created by sculptor and engraver, Michael Hibbit, and it was issued to commemorate the centenary of the building's construction.
