Isle Of Man 50p Coins VGC (1997 TT Races)

Product Information

The total mintage of the Milner’s Tower 50p Coin that entered circulation was low, and the exact total is unknown. It was a standard circulation coin with no special Proof versions. It has been issued a few times between 2004 and 2016. Here, you are only able to see Gibraltar Xmas 50p coin from 1988 to 2003 ONLY, due to the main constraint of data made available by the Pobjoy Mint. Let we start with 1988 first as follows: Isle of Man coins and notes are not legal tender in the UK, but UK coins and notes are accepted on the island. Until 1971, The Isle of Man coins were part of the Manx pound which is the currency of the Isle of Man. It is in parity with the pound sterling. It all begun on sovereigns gold coins in 1973. In the year 1973, the Pobjoy mint were commissioned to mint sovereigns from half to five sovereigns on behalf of the government of Isle of Man. Also, it was the time to see the birth of die mark (single) A/B/C/D/E from a private mint in the post-decimal era in the UK. A special die mark X was created in 1973 and die mark F in 1979. In the meantime, the letters of PM were well-established as the Pobjoy Mint’s mintmark.

The mystery of the IOM and GIB Xmas 50p coin is not bad and pulling out from the water, but exploring is still on. Another well-known rare 50p produced by the Isle of Man is the 1997 TT 50p which is also quite collectable. MintageThe ‘Tourist Trophy’ is an annual motorcycle event held on the Isle of Man and known by motoring enthusiasts as the ‘Ultimate Road Race’.

The Isle of Man has become synonymous with the TT racing and there’s no doubt that keen collectors will snap up the small number of these coins we have available.
