Revision as of 23:40, 8 March 2020 by Bgwhite (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff) This article is about the modern Manx coin. For the medieval English coin, see Noble (English coin).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. 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.
