Reverse description A detailed depiction of a ruined ancient keeill, the traditional small chapel or oratory historically associated with early Celtic Christianity on the Isle of Man, rendered in high relief against an open field. The structure is shown with its characteristic rough-hewn stone walls, a rounded bell-cote arch, and remnants of a doorway, set on a low stone base. An ornamental Celtic rope border frames the inner design around the periphery. The legend ANCIENT KEEILLS OF MANN arcs across the upper field in a distinctive mixed typeface, and the denomination numeral 1 appears in the lower right field.
