An Isle of Man 2001 cupro-nickel Crown coin (Elizabeth II), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition and the original packaging, could fetch up to £15 GBP.

The values quoted are the best possible for the best specimens in their grades, but may be significantly lower due to varying demand for the coin and the prevailing economic climate. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.

The Isle of Man Crown coin series are produced more as an export industry for collectors and investors than as circulating currency. They may have also been struck in silver, gold and platinum, the value of which is related to the current bullion values for those metals.

The larger pre-1997 50 Pence coins were withdrawn from circulation and demonetised in 1998. So, unless they are part of a Proof or Uncirculated mint set or are individual Proof or Uncirculated coins and in absolute mint condition, they have little or no value.

The Isle of Man currency (Manx Pound)(IMP) is pegged at par with the British Pound Sterling (GBP) and the Isle of Man decimal coinage, for the most part, resembles the dimensions, composition and history to the equivalent British coins. Isle of Man currency is "legal tender" only in the Isle of Man, and is not acceptable tender in Britain.

The Isle of Man TT is the most famous event. It's a 2 week long motorcycle festival with many classes of bike racing around a 37 mile (55km) track which consists entirely of public roads. The races have been held for over 100 years.

The Manx national rally, is also a famous event that is run on the Isle of Man, as it is a Special Stage, in the WRC (world rally championships)

Taken from Wikipedia:

"The flag of the Isle of Man shows a triskelion, the Three Legs of Mann emblem, in the centre of a red flag. The three legs are joined at the thigh and bent at the knee. In order to have the toes pointing clockwise on both sides of the flag, a two-sided emblem is used.

The Manx flag is based on the coat-of-arms of the last recognized Norse King of Mann, Magnus III. A modified version of this coat-of-arms is still in use by Magnus' descendants in Norway, the Skanke family.

The triskelion has its roots in an early Celtic sun symbol that was also used by many other ancient civilizations including the Mycenaeans and the Lycians. The flag is similar to that of Sicily."
