| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central depiction of the Laxey Wheel, known as Lady Isabella, the world's largest surviving working waterwheel, rendered in fine detail showing the wheel structure, supporting framework, and arched stone base. The wheel is superimposed over a topographical outline map of the Isle of Man in the field behind. The inscription 'ISLE OF MAN' arcs along the upper periphery, while 'FIVE PENCE' is positioned along the lower right, with the Pobjoy Mint mark to the left. A triskelion privy mark appears on certain issues at the base of the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Laxey Wheel, built in 1854 to pump water from the Great Lonsdale Mine, was at the time of its construction the largest working waterwheel in the world at 72.5 feet in diameter. The Isle of Man gained control of its own coinage in 1973 after centuries of dependency on British issues, and Pobjoy Mint — a private Surrey-based operation — won the contract, producing a distinctly Manx decimal series rather than simply shadowing the contemporary British redesign.
The KM#35.1 and 35.2 variants differ in edge treatment.
