Maud Lister pointed out that the legs on the Manx coinage were at first, in 1709, kneeling and facing Ireland, on the 1733 issue they are changed and kneeling towards England, likewise on the Atholl coins of 1758. However as soon as the Island was sold to England he is not kneeling to anyone, on the George III 1786 issue, he is not even looking at England, he is running and running at top speed towards Ireland. He keeps on at this rate during both cartwheel issues of 1798 and 1813. With the Victorian issue of 1839 he has slowed, but still has his back to England, and is away to Ireland as fast as possible.
