The Manx Noble is a platinum, gold or silver bullion coins produced for the Isle of Man. From 1983 through 2015, the coins were minted by the English Pobjoy Mint.[1] The 2017 and 2018 versions were minted by Liechtenstein's Coin Invest Trust (CIT). The coins are not minted every year, but have an erratic schedule. Nobles are legal tender but they do not have a fixed face value; instead, like the Krugerrand or Mexico's Libertad, they are legal tender to the value of their precious metal content.
The obverse shows Queen Elizabeth II with the text Isle of Man and Elizabeth II in capitals. The reverse shows a viking ship with the denomination and the platinum content with the words Platinum fine.
Specifications
The platinum coins contains 99.5% platinum (.995 fineness). The gold coins contains 99.99% gold (.9999 fineness) and silver coins contains contains 99.9% silver (.999 fineness).
