Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the TT Motorcycle Races, a popular annual motorcycle race held on the Isle of Man. The coin's design shows Queen Elizabeth II wearing a tiara and facing forward, surrounded by a pattern of motorcycles and the words "TT Races Isle of Man." This design was created by the Isle of Man's own coinage committee and is not found on any other coin.
