Manx Gold CoinsWe list below various Manx gold coins. Please note we also have separate pages for other Manx gold coins such as Angels and Crowns, including the popular cat series. Visit these via our Manx index page.Sovereigns & Half SovereignsManx gold sovereigns and half sovereigns conform to the same dimensions, weights and purities as their British counterparts. Their are some dates which exist in Manx sovereigns which do not exist in British sovereigns. These include 1973, 1975 and 1977. From 1973 to 1982, these have a design very similar to that of a British sovereign or half, in that their reverse design is a Manx or Norse warrior on a horse, which we presume is slaying a dragon after the style of Pistrucci's world renowned St. George & Dragon reverse on British sovereigns, although we could be mistaken, he may be chopping the tail off a Manx cat. There are also Manx gold pound coins which we have not included on this page, most of which were struck to a weight standard different from sovereigns, and in other metals.Good Gift AlternativesFor the years in which sovereigns were not issued, Manx sovereigns make a good gift alternative. As we have already noted above, these are 1973, 1975 and 1977. There are also many years for which British half sovereigns were not issued, and for which Manx half sovereigns exist, and these also would make good gift alternatives. The relevant dates for half sovereigns are 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978 and 1979.Technical Specifications
