Comment

Coin was issued only in set (1000 sets produced - photo from https://www.chards.co.uk):

 

Similar coin in UNC condition was produced from 22ct gold with total mintage 2000 pieces (whereof 1500 was issued in Specimen Sets).

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Revestment Act of 1765, which allowed the British Crown to regain control over the Isle of Man's government and laws. The coin's design features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of the Isle of Man's coat of arms on the other. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item.
