Sovereigns & Half Sovereigns
Manx gold sovereigns and half sovereigns conform to the same dimensions, weights and purities as their British counterparts. There 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.
