This 1990 Isle of Man gold coin commemorates the 150th anniversary of the famous Penny Black and is thus one of the notable numismatic issues with philatelic significance. The coin was struck as a 1 Crown in Proof quality and combines the appeal of a classic anniversary theme with a distinctive design typical of the Isle of Man. Numista explicitly lists this issue as a Gold Proof Issue for the 150th Anniversary of the “Penny Black” Stamp.
The reverse side is particularly striking, featuring the iconic Penny Black stamp and a portrait of Queen Victoria within the stylized stamp. This motif gives the issue its distinctive character and makes it appealing to both coin collectors and enthusiasts of postal history. The obverse shows the portrait of Elizabeth II after Raphael David Maklouf. William Wyon is credited as the designer of the Penny Black.
The coin was minted by the Pobjoy Mint, as indicated by the mint mark PM. Furthermore, this issue impresses with its high-quality proof finish and the original packaging, including the box and certificate shown in your photos, which is an added bonus for collectors. Finally, the limited mintage of 1,000 pieces makes this anniversary edition significantly more attractive than many regular modern commemorative coins.
Weighing 31.1 g, with a fineness of 999/1000 and a diameter of 38.61 mm, this is a substantial collector’s gold coin with a clear thematic design. The combination of gold, proof quality, historical model, and limited mintage gives this 1990 Crown a unique profile among modern Isle of Man issues.
