| Reverse description | Central device depicts the Manx Triskelion — three armoured and spurred legs conjoined at the centre — rendered in high relief and superimposed over a stylised outline map of the Isle of Man. Small floral or foliate ornaments are placed at intervals around the central device. The legend ISLE OF MAN arcs along the upper periphery, with FIVE POUNDS along the lower, both separated from the central design by the coin's border. |

| Additional information |
The Pobjoy Mint has struck coins for the Isle of Man under private contract since 1973, an arrangement unusual enough that it occasionally confuses catalogers who mistake Manx issues for British Royal Mint products. These silver issues from the early 1980s were produced alongside base-metal counterparts, the .925 pieces largely absorbed by collectors rather than circulation — the Island's real monetary traffic ran through the cupro-nickel versions.
The Schön split between 39a.1 and 39a.2 reflects a documented die or finish variation across the issue years, a characteristic of Pobjoy's Manx output during this period where subtle production changes were not always systematically announced.
