The Isle of Man has its own circulating coinage, which is used in parallel with the British Pound Sterling; it also issues an extensive range of commemorative coins for collectors, as well as bullion coins in a variety of formats and designs for investors in precious metals.
One of the formats used is the large two ounces of silver, abbreviated as 2oz Ag, where Ag comes from the Latin word for silver, Argentum. The coins are considered Non-Circulating Legal Tender (NCLT) because they are "premium" editions released at prices much higher than their bullion value. |
