| Additional information |
The Isle of Man has issued commemorative crowns with unusual frequency since the 1970s, often covering sporting themes that larger mints wouldn't touch. This piece ties to the Sydney 2000 Games, where sailing events were held at Rushcutters Bay — the same venue used for the 1998 World Championships, giving the site back-to-back international competition in quick succession.
