Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2005 Isle of Man Christmas 50p coin is that it features a unique reverse design depicting a festive holly sprig, which was created by the artist Michael Durham. This design was specifically commissioned for this coin and is not found on any other coin in the series. Additionally, the coin's gold composition and proof finish add to its collectibility and numismatic value.
