| Obverse description | Crowned and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing the George IV State Diadem and a pearl necklace with drop earring, after the portrait by Jody Clark. The legend QUEEN ELIZABETH II arcs across the upper field, with ISLE OF MAN to the right, and the date 2020 positioned centrally at the base. The design is executed in high relief against a flat field, consistent with the fifth definitive portrait used on Isle of Man coinage from 2015 onward. |

| Additional information |
The Isle of Man has issued more 50 pence varieties than any other territory using the coin format, a consequence of the Manx government's aggressive commemorative program that began in earnest in the 1970s. KM#1668 is one of dozens of thematic issues produced for the collector market rather than general circulation, a distinction that matters when assessing actual handling wear.
