The Obverse design is that of a mature crowned head of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Ian Rank-Broadley. The image features Her Majesty facing right and wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland diamond tiara. The tiara had been a wedding gift from Queen Mary, her grandmother, in 1947. She is seen wearing this tiara in the Machin and Gottwald portraits as well. The 1980 UNC<#2>, BB, in contrast to the 1980 UNC<#1>, is much better in terms of finish standard. A light frosting effect and the likely mirror-liked field can be seen. Like other Isle of Man coins, it’s difficult to discuss the rarity of the coin since the mintage information has not been publicly shared. But based on the small population of the crown dependency and because they are not in circulation in the UK, it’s a reasonable assumption to think that these coins aren’t extremely easy to find.
