Curling has been an official Winter Olympic Games sport since the 1998 Olympics and this coin shows a single player in action setting their curling stone towards the ‘house’. Other coins available individually or as part of an unmissable Winter Olympics series include: The Luge, Figure Skating and Alpine Skiing. Available in Proof Sterling Silver and Cupro Nickel, each IOM collector’s coin depicts three snowflakes further highlighting the wintry aspect of these special coins. This beautiful coin is specially finished with the snowflakes coloured to give a frosty appearance. The obverse of the coin features an effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Lord of Mann, by Ian Rank-Broadley FRBS. Ian Rank-Broadley is one of the foremost sculptors working today. His effigy of H.M. Queen Elizabeth II has appeared on all UK coinage since 1998 and Pobjoy Mint has exclusive use of the ‘uncouped’ effigy that appears on the obverse of these coins.
