| Additional information |
Pobjoy Mint produced this piece for the Isle of Man as part of a broader commemorative program marking the 900th anniversary of the Domesday Book, William's systematic survey of English landholdings ordered in 1085 and completed the following year. The survey was unprecedented in medieval Europe — no comparable census of taxable assets existed anywhere in the contemporary world. Its findings were recorded in two volumes that survive to this day in the National Archives at Kew.
