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 Vikings first settled on the island in the 9th century, and their legacy can still be seen in the island's culture and architecture today. This design was created by sculptor and engraver, Edgar Fuller, and it's a distinctive feature that sets this coin apart from other coins in the series.
