| Additional information |
Issued in the months following Charles III's accession in September 2022, this piece marks the first use of "God Save the King" as the British national anthem in over seventy years — the last time the male form was sung was during the final months of Elizabeth II's father, George VI, who died in February 1952. The Isle of Man, a Crown dependency with its own coining tradition, has long issued commemorative 50 pence pieces outside the UK's Royal Mint remit.
The selective gold plating over a silver-plated copper-nickel core is a layered finish technique increasingly common in Isle of Man commemoratives from this period.
