| Reverse description | A Loaghtan sheep — the native four-horned breed of the Isle of Man — is depicted in bold relief, standing in profile and superimposed over a simplified topographical outline map of the Isle of Man. The design, engraved by Barry Stanton, captures the characteristic heavy fleece and curved horns of this rare breed with naturalistic detail. The circular legend ISLE OF MAN arcs across the upper field, while ONE PENNY is inscribed along the lower periphery, separated by raised pellet stops at each side. |
