Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, depicting a Christmas scene with a wreath surrounding the words "Merry Christmas" in Manx, a language spoken on the Isle of Man. This design was created by Manx artist, John S. Kewley, and it's the first time that a Christmas theme was featured on a Manx coin.
