I have always rather liked the Isle of Man Viking series of coins, especially the gold viking on horseback. The 1987 is a rather curious rendition with a somewhat goofy facial expression on the viking as opposed to the earlier 1973-83 gold series. Just wonder if anyone has ever seen or heard of the gold or platinum versions - I suspect they would sell near to bullion if found! I got the piedfort silver and regular silver versions of this (authorised mintage of the silver piedfort was 4950 but would guess its about 1/10 that actually struck).
