Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design depicting a Christmas scene with a robin perched on a holly branch, surrounded by snowflakes and the words "Merry Christmas" in a festive font. This design was created by the Isle of Man-based artist, Michael Hibbit, and was specifically commissioned for this coin. The coin's design is a nod to the Isle of Man's rich history and culture, and its connection to the British Crown dependencies.
