Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1980 Isle of Man Christmas 50p coin is that it features a unique reverse design depicting a Christmas scene with a snow-covered village and a Christmas tree, which was created by the artist John Snellshaw. This design was only used on this specific coin and has not been used on any other coins, making it a distinctive and collectible piece for coin enthusiasts.
