I really like the below design, Norse Ring Cross, of the Isle of Man penny. In 1971, the Isle of Man ordered 100,000 of these penny's from the British Royal Mint. The Royal Mint also produced a 1970 Crown before decimalization started in 1971. The 1971 set, consisting of a half penny, penny, two, five, ten and fifty pence, were the first year issue of circulating coins since the 19th century. In 1972, The Pobjoy Mint, also in England, took over as the Isle of Man's Mint. Sorry about the crummy photos.
