Comments

When adding years to coin designs the Isle of Man used one style for the digits until 1989 and another style from 1990 on (with the exception of 20 Pence coins from 1998 on). The difference is most easily noticed in the 9s and 6s in the date. This type exists with both styles.

Position of die letters - a few groups are known for year 1991:

Die High - die letters between bottom and central part of the wheel.

For “low position” there are known at least three different variations:
Die Low₁ - die letters under the pottery wheel, both are so close that the first letter with missing right diagonal bar. The first letter lower than the base of wheel.
Die Low₂ - die letters under the pottery wheel, both are so close that the first letter with missing right diagonal bar. The first letter touches the base of wheel.
Die Low₃ - die letters under the pottery wheel and far away from each other, the first letter is written completely.
