New Manx coins launched next week

The Isle of Man is to get a new set of coins next week - including a £5 piece.

The Treasury will launch the new coins on Monday - it's the first set to be released in 12 years.

The Island previously had a five-pound coin in the 1980s, and the Treasury says it hopes it'll be widely used.

The coins will be unveiled in the Tynwald Library in Douglas - the designs include a Manx Shearwater, Manx cat, Viking longship, Loaghtan sheep, Raven and Falcon, Tower of Refuge and the triskele.
