Isle of Man: 1971 Set in Blister

I'm very much sure that this is not an official issue as there are no signs of issuing authority etc but still a good deal for couple of euros...

Very good indeed. The designs are by Christopher Ironside. This was the first time since Victoria's reign that the island had circulated its own coins, and this time it was a full set. They were introduced to coincide with decimalisation. Up until then, the other two crown dependencies (Jersey and Guernsey - the Channel Islands) had only issued coins up to the equivalent of threepence, but they too both issued a full set for decimalisation.

Thanks! The only IoM coins which are of most interest for me are the bimetallic £2 and occasionally, £5. No 50p coins, too many IMO. Not easy to get them in India...
