50p coin issued in honour of TT star John McGuinness

The Isle of Man has issued a new 50p piece to celebrate the achievements of 20-time TT winner, John McGuinness.

The coin features a picture of the Morecambe rider in action on the island's Mountain circuit.

The new addition to the Manx mint is a joint project by Isle of Man Stamps and Coins and the Manx Treasury.

A spokesman said the coin had been created in a bid to mark "the incredible achievements of the Morecambe Missile".

He added: "We are delighted with the coin - it was always going to be difficult to capture the excitement and spectacle of a John McGuinness TT race."

The 50p coin is legal tender and will go into circulation this week.

Nice work done. Are you collecting all T.T. series 50ps from IOM?

No sir.
I do not collect commemoratives.
