| Beschrijving keerzijde | A dramatic colourised depiction of RMS Titanic dominates the reverse, rendered in a bold illustrative style showing the ship's massive bow and superstructure rising from the sea. The vessel's funnels and rigging are rendered in detail against a dark night sky, with coloured highlights applied to the hull and ocean surface. A large iceberg is visible to the left of the composition in the field. The legend 'RMS TITANIC' arcs along the upper left, with the commemorative dates '1912-2012' beneath it, and the denomination '1 CROWN' appears in the lower field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Isle of Man has issued commemorative crowns with unusual frequency since the 1970s, and its Titanic centenary series arrived exactly one hundred years after the ship sank on April 15, 1912. The wreck lies roughly 370 miles southeast of Newfoundland at a depth of about 12,500 feet, and was not located until a joint American-French expedition led by Robert Ballard found it in September 1985.
The Isle of Man's connection to the disaster is specific: several passengers aboard held Manx citizenship, and the island had direct maritime ties to the White Star Line's Liverpool operations.
