Isle of Man, 50 pence, 1979.  Day of Tynwald.

Tynwald is the legislature (parliament) of the Isle of Man. It was established in 979. Tynwald Day is the National Day of the Isle of Man, usually observed on 5 July. In 1979 the Isle of Man issued a special circulating 50 pence coin to commemorate Tynwald's millennium. It shows a replica Viking ship, on whose sail is written "manx millennium viking voyage". The mast also features the Millennium logo: a circle containing a stylised triskele.

The scene on the reverse of the coin depicts the re-enactment, on 5 July 1979, of a Viking voyage. The lighthouse shown is the Point of Ayre Lighthouse, an active 19th century lighthouse, sited at the Point of Ayre at the north-eastern end of the Isle of Man. It was designed and built by Robert Stevenson, grandfather of prolific writer and novelist Robert Louis Stevenson, and was first lit in 1818, making it the oldest operational lighthouse on the island.
