The design was inspired by a stained-glass window
The first Christmas £2 with the head of King Charles has been released in the Isle of Man.
The coin depicts a nativity scene which was inspired by the stained-glass window of Kirk Christ in Rushen.
It was designed and produced by Tower Mint, which have been the Isle of Man government's currency partners since 2017.
