| Additional information |
Thorwald's Cross is a tenth-century Norse-Manx carved stone found at Andreas parish church, depicting a scene widely interpreted as the binding of Loki from Norse mythology — one of the few surviving visual references to that narrative outside of Icelandic manuscripts. The Isle of Man's Viking heritage runs deep, and the island's unique position as a former seat of Norse kingship made it a natural issuer for this series. The gold-plated outer ring on this proof was a deliberate design choice to evoke bimetallic coinage without the minting complications of a true two-metal flan at this weight.
