| Additional information |
The Isle of Man has issued commemorative gold under the Pobjoy Mint franchise for decades, producing a volume of themed coinage that far exceeds what any serious collector could track. This piece draws on the Norse mythological tradition of Fenrir — the monstrous wolf of the Eddas, bound by the dwarf-forged ribbon Gleipnir until Ragnarök — a subject with genuine historical resonance on the island, whose Tynwald government and place names reflect deep Scandinavian settlement dating to the 9th century.
