A 1981 Isle of Man Diamond Finish decimal set, produced by the Pobjoy Mint. The eight-coin set, from Five Pounds to Halfpenny, is one of only 1,000 made available (the seven-coin edition, conversely, had an issue limit of 25,000). Struck to the Pobjoy Mint's popular Diamond Finish, these beautiful coins celebrate Manx heritage and visual identity through their varied reverse designs. These include the Triskeles as depicted on the £5 and £1 coins and a Viking longship struck on the 50p. A Pobjoy Mint token is also included, bearing the classic private mint's symbol. This is a pre-owned collection of base metal Isle of Man legal tender, supplied in the perspex display case and the red outer envelope.

Isle Of Man 1981 Classic Coins

These coins belong to the 1980 series of the Isle of Man's coinage history. Each design is intertwined with distinctively Manx (Norse-inspired) patterning. Many of the designs - the Herring 1/2p, Cat 1p, Chough 2p, Sheep 5p and Gyrfalcon 10p - feature Manx wildlife, with the Triskelion well represented on the larger denominations. The eight-coin set offered here is significant in featuring the Five Manx Pound coin, which is not present in the majority of 1981-dated Diamond Finish sets.

Pobjoy Isle Of Man Diamond Set

The ever-popular Pobjoy Mint, a private mint which operated from Surrey, produced these Manx coins under commission from the Isle of Man Government. Its special Diamond Finish was used to produce these eight coins to the highest collectability standard.
