I was given an Isle of Man £5 coin.
My nan won it in a singing competition in the 80s and was told when she received it, that it was the first
one issued or minted.
Maybe the host of the competition said that to add more interest, i don't know,
but is there anyway of finding out?
I have seen a photo of another, Legs of Man design on reverse, but it's silver.
The coin I have looks more gold in colour and has was looks like a fishing boat on reverse side,
with Ellan Vannin and Legs Of Man in a small circle.
Would anyone here have an idea?
Thanks.
