Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1983 Isle of Man Christmas 50p Platinum Proof coin is that it features a unique reverse design, depicting a festive holly sprig, which was created by the artist Michael Hibbit. This design was specifically commissioned for this coin and has not been used on any other currency. Additionally, the coin's platinum composition and low mintage of only 5,000 coins make it a highly sought-after collector's item.
