Comment
Built 1869-1874 to a design by David and Thomas Stevenson the lighthouse was built on a submerged reef. The granite for the tower was shipped from Scotland and cut in a mason's yard in Port St. Mary. The tower was built during four summer seasons using the winter months to cut the stones. The lighthouse had a range of 13 miles and after one of the keepers was injured in a fire in 1960, the light was automated the following year.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that showcases the Chicken Rock Lighthouse, which is located on a small rocky island off the southwestern coast of the Isle of Man. The lighthouse has been guiding mariners since 1875 and has become an iconic symbol of the island's rich maritime history. The coin's design not only highlights the lighthouse but also includes an inscription of the coin's denomination, "10 Pence," and the year of minting, "2004-2016." This coin is a fascinating collector's item for anyone interested in numismatics, maritime history, or the Isle of Man's rich cultural heritage.
