| Reverse description | A central Olympic torch with a flaming bowl divides the field into four quadrants, each depicting a winter ice sport: a figure skater in the upper left, a luge or skeleton competitor in the upper right, a bobsled in the lower left, and an ice hockey player in the lower right. The legend VANCOUVER arcs along the lower left and OLYMPIC along the lower right, separated by the torch design. The denomination CROWN appears in the exergue at the bottom, and the date 2010 is incorporated vertically alongside the torch. The Pobjoy Mint mark PM is visible in the left field. |

| Additional information |
The Isle of Man has issued Olympic-themed crowns for nearly every Games since the 1980s, a program driven more by collector revenue than any direct connection to the host nation. For the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games, the Pobjoy Mint produced multiple designs across this series, with ice sports subjects split across separate issues to maximize the release count.
KM#1412 is copper-nickel, the cheaper of the two versions struck — a proof issue in .925 silver was produced alongside it for the same design.
