| Additional information |
The Isle of Man has long exploited its status as a Crown Dependency — outside UK parliamentary control but under the Crown — to issue commemorative coinage on virtually any royal occasion, a revenue stream the Manx treasury has pursued aggressively since the 1970s. The 2017 platinum wedding series, marking Elizabeth II and Prince Philip's 70th anniversary, generated multiple collector releases across several denominations. This copper-nickel circulation-format piece is one of several distinct reverse types issued simultaneously for the same anniversary, each sold separately.
