Here we have a 1 ounce gold coin from the Pobjoy Mint, produced on behalf of the Isle of Man. This is a 24 carat coin and is of a similar size to the 1oz gold Britannias.
The reverse of this gold coin features an historic Viking longboat called 'Thusly'. Seagulls surround the vessel, with waves depicted beneath the bow. A Viking knit surrounds the rim of the coin, and the Isle of Man's flag - a triskelion of armoured legs - appears in a frame at the top of the coin.
The strong Viking theme relates to the history of the island, having once been the Kingdom of Mann and conquered by Norse leaders, with the King of Dublin and the Earls of Orkney ruling the isle. The design also relates to the old English Noble, which was minted during the reign of Edward III and also featured a ship.
The PM (Pobjoy Mint) mint mark appears alongside the waves. Typically the engraver's initials are used for coin designs, so it's not clear whether this is coincidental or not.
The obverse features the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, though the designer of said portrait will vary depending on the year of issue.
Please note: The year of issue will vary depending on our stock. Supply is limited due to low mintage figures.
