Additional information

James Murray, 2nd Duke of Atholl, inherited the lordship of Mann through his wife Charlotte Murray in 1736 — which creates an immediate problem: coinage attributed to him as Lord of Mann and dated 1733 could not have been issued under his authority at that date. The 1733 issues belong to the tenure of James Stanley's line, with the Duke of Atholl succession only formalizing later. The KM#3 attribution grouping under Atholl is a cataloging convenience that has long generated confusion among collectors of Manx coinage.
