Isle of Man gold sovereigns were produced for a limited period in the 1970s and early 1980s when the British Royal Mint was not issuing sovereigns every year. The Pobjoy Mint, a private British mint known for striking coins for various Commonwealth territories, was commissioned by the Isle of Man government to produce these pieces. The series offered collectors and investors an alternative sovereign-style gold coin during years when official British sovereigns were unavailable or limited. Production of these specific Isle of Man sovereigns ended after 1982, making the remaining examples part of a closed historical series.
