Likewise, the reverse side features at least one Manx cat image with variations based on year of mint and denomination. For example, the reverse of the one-tenth coin has a cat on the left facing right flanked by two kittens to her right. In almost all denominations, the face values appear just below the image of the cat(s).

The Isle of Man Gold Crown is product of the British Pobjoy Mint.

As far back as 1974, British Pobjoy Mint has been producing and selling coins and stamps internationally. It has also struck commemorative, pattern and circulating coins for almost 20 percent of the central banks and governments globally. Trading in this coin does not attract sales tax or VAT.
