Description
The Isle of Man has produced a range of Platinum coins, such as the Noble, since 1983. Nobles are a form of legal tender, but do not have a fixed face value; much like the South African Krugerrand and the Mexican Libertad, their value is solely based on the value of their precious metal content. 1/10oz Noble Platinum coins have a purity level of 999.5, weighing 3.13g.
The obverse of the Noble coin shows Right facing uncouped bust of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing the ” Girls of Great Britain and Ireland ” Tiara, legend around, date below. Whilst the reverse features a design produced by the Pobjoy Mint of a historic Viking longship called the ‘Thusly’, flanked on either side by a pair of gliding birds, as the longship sails the ocean.
What distinguishes this edition is its proof finish, which is achieved through multiple strikes with hand-prepared dies. Proof coins exhibit an attractive high-contrast appearance and are minted in smaller quantities compared to their bullion counterparts. This particular Isle Of Man 1/10oz Platinum Noble coin is one of 5,000 issued in 1984.
