There were no British gold sovereigns minted in 1973, so this Manx sovereign often provides a substitute. The reverse shows a Norse warrior on horseback, making this very similar in appearance to the St. George and dragon reverse which is so familiar on British sovereigns.
The mintage is also relatively low at 40,000 pieces.
