The Isle of Man, located in the Irish Sea, and in British possession, at the beginning of the 18th century suffered from a lack of legal currency in circulation and counterfeiting. Money on the island was produced by casting, they were easily forged.
In 1733, the ruler of the island holds the official issue of coins, and the previous money is prohibited by special decree. The quality of the new circulation coins turned out to be much better than in the previous issue.

On the obverse: Derby coat of arms. Above the headgear is a child wrapped in cloth. Above him is an eagle that looks to the left. Below is the release date. On the reverse side of the coin: the triskel is the symbol of the island. These three legs, coming from one point, mean stability and ability to adapt. Caption: "Wherever they are thrown, will stand." Inside the symbol is the denomination of the coin.
The appearance of the coat of arms of the family of Earl Derby, attributed to the legend. It is said that a childless married couple of Stanley's relatives found the baby in the eagle's nest, and adopted him. In memory of this event, the symbol of the baby in the cradle, with the eagle, became the coat of arms of the Derby family.
This edition is interesting because the coat of arms with a child and an eagle was no longer printed on the coins. The year 1733 is the last year of issue of a penny with such obverse of coins, which adds interest to these currency notes.
