| Reverse description | Central facing portrait bust of Diana, Princess of Wales, rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field, depicting her with short hair and a light smile. The curved legend DIANA, PRINCESS OF WALES - THE WORK CONTINUES arcs along the upper periphery of the coin. Two stylised rose devices flank the portrait at the lower left and right of the field, serving as symbolic references to Diana's association with the English rose. The denomination 1 CROWN appears in the lower exergual area in a script typeface. The rim is defined by a plain raised border. |

| Additional information |
Issued the year after Diana's death had already passed its fifth anniversary, this coin belongs to a sprawling commemorative program the Isle of Man Treasury ran throughout the late 1990s and 2000s — a jurisdiction that built a substantial portion of its collector coin revenue on royal and celebrity subjects largely ignored by the Royal Mint itself. The Isle of Man had no formal connection to Diana's life or title; the issues were commercially driven, licensed through agreements with the Diana Memorial Fund, which became notoriously selective — and litigious — about how her image was used following her 1997 death.
