Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design of a falcon on the reverse side, which was created by the artist John M. L. M. S. S. M. Scott. The falcon is depicted in a dynamic pose, with its wings spread wide and a small bird in its talons. This design was chosen to represent the Isle of Man's rich history of falconry, which dates back to the medieval period. The coin's design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also has cultural significance, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and history enthusiasts.
