| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two hooded falcons, rendered in fine sculptural relief, perch facing one another atop a shared falconry block or perch, their jesses and swivels depicted in precise detail below their taloned feet. Each bird wears a traditional falconry hood and displays meticulously engraved plumage across its breast, wings, and tail. The circular legend is divided, with 'ISLE OF MAN' arcing across the upper field and 'TWO NEW PENCE' along the lower periphery, each separated by a raised dot. The composition evokes the historic tradition of falconry associated with the Isle of Man, executed in the restrained naturalistic style characteristic of Christopher Ironside's work. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Isle of Man adopted decimal currency in 1971 alongside the United Kingdom, but retained the right to issue its own coinage — a privilege rooted in the island's status as a Crown Dependency with its own parliament, Tynwald. The standard 1971–1975 circulation 2p was struck in bronze; the silver version is a proof-only collector strike, produced by the Pobjoy Mint, which held the contract for Manx coinage throughout this period.
Pobjoy struck annual proof sets in .925 silver for the collector market beginning with decimalization. The 1975 issue predates the shift to more elaborate commemorative programs that would define Manx numismatics from the late 1970s onward.
