| Reverse description | A finely detailed depiction of the Tower of Refuge, the Gothic-style fortified structure erected in 1832 upon Conister Rock near the entrance to Douglas Harbour, Isle of Man. The tower is shown rising from a rocky islet surrounded by dramatically rendered, stylized waves that fill the lower field, evoking the maritime setting of the structure. The circular legend is divided, with 'ISLE OF MAN' arcing across the upper field and 'FIVE NEW PENCE' curving along the lower portion, each separated by raised dots. The engraving, by Christopher Ironside, displays fine architectural detail in the crenellated battlements and arrow-slit windows of the tower. |
