  4. The Isle of Man has a horse drawn carriage (tram) in Douglas that is the longest continuous running tram in the world. My great great great grandfather owned and operated the tram when he opened it for service in 1876. I've been collecting coins and documentation associated with the horse tram. I just acquired a crown depicting the 1963 Queen Mum visit to the island. Below are a few of the items in my collection. The Isle of Man is a self governing Crown Depenency of Great Britain. It is not part of the U.K. or the European Union. It has the longest continuous running parliament in the world and has its own currency - although it also accepts U.K. Currency. Queen Elizabeth II is currently the Lord of Man - this title was transferred to the British Monarchy, King George III, in 1765. An interesting fact for the forum women - in 1881 the Isle of Man's parilment, the Tynwald, became the first national legislative body in the world to give women the right to vote in a general election, although this excluded married women.
  5. I'm not big on NCLT offerings or most anything modern for that matter, but I do collect coins, both circulating and NCLT, from the Isle of Man. A small relatively unknown island in the Irish Sea. It is. British dependency. Below describes the offering. I like the art and the offering, but I cannot call it a coin. What do you think? Do you like it? Is it a coin? The highlight of CIT’s coin portfolio at World Money Fair 2019 is a breathtaking three ounce silver issue for the Isle of Man (often referred to simply as Mann). While depictions on modern coins often lack a significant connection to the country of issue, Manannán – 1st King of Mann – is a treasure of folklore and cultural identity. The coin, struck with smartminting technology in the shape of an ornamented celtic cross shows Manannán mac Lir “son of the sea” kneeling in knight’s armor clutching a shield and his sword Fragarach “the retaliator”. The polished Fragarach is adorned with the characteristic three-legged Manx triscelion. Manannán derived his name from the Isle of Man and is said to be the first king and defender of the island. He is a vital part of Manx, Irish and Scottish mythology and folklore. Aside from his famous sword, Manannán is said to have possessed a cloak of invisibility and the Wave Sweeper, a ship able to cross the seas without sails. The outstanding numismatic tribute to Manannán measures 55 mm in diameter, features an antique finish and nominal value of 5 £. Only 999 pieces will be struck of this Isle of Man issue. As a self-governing Crown dependency, Queen Elizabeth II is the head of state holding the title “Lord of Mann”.
