| Additional information |
The Order of the Garter, founded by Edward III in 1348, is the oldest and highest order of chivalry in England — Elizabeth II served as its Sovereign throughout her reign, personally selecting members rather than acting on ministerial advice, one of the few genuine prerogatives she exercised. The Isle of Man Treasury produced commemorative crown-sized pieces like this one prolifically during the 2000s, targeting the collector market rather than circulation.
