1980 Manx Silver Coin Set Certificate

For a number of years from 1975, the Isle of Man issued complete sets of its coinage in sterling silver for collectors. These were only issued in quite small quantities, but we usually manage to have a few of them in stock.

Silver Anniversary Gifts
We are often asked for coins as gifts including silver wedding gifts. Silver coins, and coin sets in silver can make an excellent special occasion gift.
Most countries stopped using silver coins around the time of the first world war. Britain, for example, reduced the silver content of its silver coins from 92.5% (sterling silver), after 1919, and further reduced this again after 1946 to zero, so that no British coins dated after 1946 were issued for circulation containing any silver. All silver coloured coins are now made from cupro-nickel, which as its name infers is an alloy of copper and nickel.

Commemoratives & Collectors' Issues
Fortunately since about the mid 1960's, some countries have taken to issuing special commemorative coins for sale to collectors, and these have included some issues of silver coins.

Manx Coin Sets
The Isle of Man issues complete sets of its six circulating coins, ranging from the Fifty Pence to the Halfpenny. Three different versions were made, the first version in ordinary base metal, another in platinum with an issue limit of 200 sets, and our current offering in sterling silver, with an issue limit of 20,000 sets. Since about 1947, very few coins have been produced in silver for circulation, however silver is used on occasion for special collectors editions of coins or sets.
