In 2017 the Isle of Man marks the 150th anniversary of the first popular election to the House of Keys, previously a self-elected body. Mid-19th century calls for reform were led by journalists Robert Fargher and James Brown. Following negotiations between Governor Loch and the UK authorities, reforming legislation was enacted in 1866 giving the vote to male landowners and allowing Tynwald some say over finance for the first time in a century. The franchise was extended in 1881 to women landowners and in 1919 to all adults. This coin celebrates polling at the old Court House in Athol St, Douglas, on 3rd April 1867.
Each coin is struck on an individual hand fed "proof-like" press, with each blank being pre-polished prior to being struck once.
The coins are produced from cupro nickel.
These 'proof-like' 50 pence pieces are a Limited Edition of 1,750.
These are the remainder of the limited edition packs that were incorrectly labelled as 'proof' and not 'proof-like'.
