| Obverse description | Within a raised inner circle, a panoramic view of Peel Castle rendered in fine relief, depicting the medieval fortifications, towers, and ruined structures set upon a rocky coastal promontory, with choppy seas in the foreground and a single-masted sailing vessel navigating the waves to the left. The surrounding legend reads PEEL CASTLE at the top and ISLE OF MAN at the bottom, separated by the inner circle border. The coin's milled outer rim frames the composition. |

| Reverse description | The reverse field bears a bold four-line inscription in capital letters arranged concentrically across the plain field: DOUGLAS / TOKEN / ONE PENNY / 1811, with the date numerals rendered in a slightly larger serif typeface at the base. The design is entirely typographic with no pictorial elements, relying on the clarity and spacing of the legend to convey the token's issuing authority, denomination, and date. A fine milled border encircles the entire reverse. |
