Historical Insight:
The Isle of Man, though a Crown Dependency, issues its own coinage. The triskelion symbol has been used on Manx heraldry since the 13th century and serves as a powerful emblem of resilience and independence. The coin mirrors the island’s blend of Celtic, Norse, and British influences.

Collecting Note:
While sharing size and standards with UK decimal coinage, Manx coins are prized among collectors for their unique designs and limited circulation beyond the island. This 1992 piece adds cultural depth to any collection of British Isles coinage.
