| Beschrijving keerzijde | The central design by Leslie Lindsay depicts a full-length figure of a Viking or early Manx lord standing on a rocky coastal promontory, facing left, with a fortified tower or castle ruin to his left and a large square-rigged sailing vessel occupying the right portion of the field. The Manx triskelion shield appears at the top of the inner border. The composition is enclosed within a decorative chain-link inner border, with the legend MILLENNIUM OF TYNWALD arcing across the upper field and the denomination ONE CROWN inscribed in the lower exergue, both flanked by ornamental stops. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1979 Tynwald Millennium commemorative marks one thousand years of continuous legislative assembly on the Isle of Man — Tynwald being among the oldest continuously sitting parliaments in the world, with its outdoor midsummer session on Tynwald Hill at St. John's dating back to Norse settlement. The platinum version of this crown was struck in extremely limited numbers, almost certainly fewer than one hundred pieces, positioning it as the apex issue in a multi-metal commemorative program that also included gold and silver variants.
At 52 grams of .950 platinum, the production cost alone was extraordinary for a small Crown Dependency in 1979.
