Comments

The Milner's Tower was built in 1871 by the residents of Port Erin in honuor of William Milner, a Liverpool safemaker. The tower was built in the shape of a lock in honour of Milner wha was a great benefactor of the town. The tower was meant to be built in secret as a surprise, but once Milner found out he donated much of the building cost.

2016 coins has been minted without the PM mintmark even they were still produced by Pobjoy Mint.

2008 coins have two variants of AA die letters.

On first variant right A is shorter and closer to the line above, distance to rim is bigger:

On second variant the right A is same size as first one and it's located little lower, shorter distance to rim:
