Gentlemen,

Who is in the cameo of Isle of Man, 1 Crown 1982  (https://coin-brothers.com/catalog/coin422): Christopher Jones or Myles Standish?

Best regards,
Alexander

Yep, I've seen that page. Problem is that series was named Manx Maritime Heritage. Myles Standish has nothing to do with Maritime Heritage. He was an English military officer hired by the Pilgrims as military adviser for Plymouth Colony.

But Standish sailed with them, first on the Speedwell, then on the Mayflower. Anyway, it's just a collector coin, sold to make money. You can't expect perfection.  ;)
