| Additional information |
The Duke of Edinburgh's Award was founded in 1956 by Prince Philip as a structured program of personal development for young people, and by 1981 it had expanded to over 40 countries. The Isle of Man, holding a particular constitutional closeness to the Crown through its relationship with the Privy Council, was among the more enthusiastic issuing authorities for commemorative crowns tied to royal causes during this period — the island's Treasury produced dozens of such pieces through the late 1970s and 1980s, many in both base metal and .925 silver.
The KM#75a designation distinguishes this silver striking from its cupro-nickel counterpart.
