Comment

The original designs for 1998 Isle of Man circulation coins didn't have triskeles (KM# 906.1 in the case of this 1 Pound coin). The design was modified to add triskeles in the obverse legend (KM# 906.2).

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design on the reverse side, which depicts a cricket player wearing a tiara and holding a bat, surrounded by three triskelions (also known as triskeles or triskele). The triskelion is a symbol of the Isle of Man, and it is believed to represent the three legs of the island's coat of arms. The inclusion of the cricket player and the triskelions on the coin reflects the Isle of Man's rich history and culture, as well as its love for the sport of cricket.
