Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, showcasing a Viking longship, which is a nod to the Isle of Man's rich Viking heritage. The design was created by sculptor and engraver, John Mills, and it's said that the longship was inspired by the famous Viking ship, the Oseberg Ship, which was discovered in Norway in 1904. This design element adds a touch of history and cultural significance to the coin, making it a fascinating collector's item for those interested in numismatics and the Isle of Man's history.
