1 Crown - Elizabeth II George Washington

Issued to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's inauguration as first President of the United States, this Isle of Man crown is one of dozens of commemorative pieces the Pobjoy Mint struck for the island during the 1980s — a decade when the Isle of Man aggressively targeted the collector market with themed issues covering subjects well beyond its own history. Washington's inauguration took place on April 30, 1789, in New York City, then the nation's capital.
