| Additional information |
The Angel of the North, designed by Antony Gormley and erected in Gateshead in 1998, technically stands on English soil — making its appearance on a Manx coin an interesting jurisdictional curiosity. The Isle of Man's Treasury has long used its circulating decimal series as a vehicle for British cultural iconography well beyond the island's own borders, a practice that occasionally raises eyebrows among purists but keeps the series commercially active.
