Central field features the interlaced cypher 'AD' (for Atholiae Dux, referencing James Murray, 2nd Duke of Atholl as Lord of Mann), rendered in elegant script with elaborate foliate flourishes, surmounted by a ducal coronet with jewelled band and arched frame. The date 1758 appears in Roman-influenced numerals beneath the monogram. The entire design is set within a plain field bordered by a bold milled or rope-edged rim, giving a refined Baroque character to the composition. |

The triskelion (triskeles) of the Isle of Man occupies the central field, depicting three armoured legs conjoined at the thigh and radiating symmetrically, each terminating in a spur-adorned heel, with small five-pointed stars decorating the junctions. The circular Latin legend QUOCUNQUE·JECERIS·STABIT· runs continuously around the periphery, separated by pellet stops, within a prominent milled border consistent with that of the obverse. |

James Murray, 2nd Duke of Atholl, held the feudal lordship of Mann under a purchase arrangement with the British Crown that dated to 1736. The 1758 copper coinage was struck under his authority — one of the last exercises of private manorial coinage rights in the British Isles before Westminster moved to curtail them. Parliament's Revestment Act of 1765 transferred the island's revenue and customs rights back to the Crown for £70,000, ending the Murray family's ability to issue currency entirely.
