| Opschrift voorzijde | ELIZABETH II ISLE OF MAN · 1997 RDM |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | A dynamic battle scene depicting armoured warriors in fierce combat, evoking the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD. The central composition shows a mounted or standing warrior raising a sword above a fallen adversary, surrounded by shields, spears, and additional combatants in vigorous action. The numeral 2000 appears in the left field, referencing the millennium context of the commemorative series. The curved legend FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE 476 arcs along the upper border, while the denomination 1 CROWN is inscribed along the lower exergue. The design is rendered in high relief with fine detail on armour, weaponry, and figural poses. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Isle of Man has issued commemorative crowns prolifically since the 1970s, partnering with the Pobjoy Mint on dozens of historical themes with little connection to Manx history. This piece marks the 1,521st anniversary of Odoacer's deposition of Romulus Augustulus in 476 AD — a date that Edward Gibbon helped cement as the conventional end of the Western Empire, though historians have contested its significance ever since. Odoacer's own kingdom lasted barely seventeen years before Theodoric the Ostrogoth had him murdered at a banquet in Ravenna.
