| Additional information |
The Isle of Man has issued commemorative crowns tied to Olympic events since at least the 1980s, exploiting its status as a Crown dependency with its own issuing authority entirely independent of the Royal Mint. The London 2012 programme was unusually expansive even by Manx standards, with individual sport-specific issues released across 2011 and 2012 under official licensing from the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games.
Boxing returned to Olympic controversy in this cycle — the 2012 London Games saw widespread judging disputes that prompted the AIBA to overhaul its electronic scoring system shortly after.
