| Obverse description | Truncated effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing the George IV State Diadem, rendered in fine relief. The sovereign's portrait is unadorned by drapery at the truncation. The circular legend reads 'ELIZABETH II ISLE OF MAN · 1996' with the designer's initials 'RDM' incorporated into the legend. The date 1996 appears as part of the continuous peripheral inscription within the coin's field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a central cameo portrait of Michael Faraday facing slightly right, set within a circular frame in the upper field, flanked by the inscription 'MICHAEL FARADAY 1791–1867'. Below the portrait, a detailed depiction of Faraday's electromagnetic induction apparatus is shown, including a coil of wire, a cylindrical magnet, and associated experimental equipment arranged across the lower field. The arc legend 'INVENTIONS OF THE MODERN WORLD' curves along the upper periphery, while the inscription 'EXRERIMENTAL RESEARCHES IN ELECTRICITY 1831' — bearing a mint error in the word 'EXPERIMENTAL' — appears in the mid-field. The denomination '1 CROWN' is inscribed along the lower rim. |
