| Additional information |
The Isle of Man began issuing its own decimal coinage following the Decimal Currency Act 1970, which extended to the island but left the Manx government free to produce its own distinctive series rather than simply mirror British issues. The Treasury has exploited this latitude aggressively, releasing an unusually high volume of variants and commemorative types that makes cataloging the series — as the dual Schön references here suggest — genuinely complicated.
Effigy changes on Manx coinage have not always aligned with Royal Mint transitions on the mainland.
