| Additional information |
The Pobjoy Mint, operating under license from the Isle of Man government since the early 1970s, produced a substantial number of commemorative issues that often predated or outpaced official Royal Mint releases on similar royal themes. This 1985 crown marks the 85th birthday of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, a figure whose public longevity — she would live to 101 — made her the subject of repeated commemorative issues across multiple decades and jurisdictions.
The KM#219b silver variant sits alongside bronze and cupro-nickel strikes from the same dies, the suffix distinguishing composition rather than design origin.
