Noble (Manx coin)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Manx Noble is a platinum bullion coin minted by the Pobjoy Mint[1] from 1983 to 1989. Nobles are legal tender, but do not have a value associated with any currency (like the gold Krugerrand). Instead the value of a Noble is equal to its platinum content.
The obverse shows Queen Elizabeth II with the text Isle of Man and Elizabeth II in capitals. The reverse shows a viking ship with the denomination and the platinum content with the words Platinum fine.
