Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1981 Isle of Man 50p coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the Tourist Trophy Motorcycle Races, which have been held on the island since 1907.

This coin is particularly sought after by collectors due to its limited mintage and the fact that it was only issued for a single year.
