| Obverse description | Central device depicts the eagle of the Stanley family arms, displayed with wings spread and head lowered, perched atop a closed helmet resting upon a coronet, all rendered in bold relief. The eagle stands over a tilted coronet set on a decorative mantling or torse. The motto legend SANS · CHANGER (Without changing) arcs along the left periphery in bold capital letters, while the date 1723 appears in the lower exergual area. The overall design reflects early 18th-century heraldic engraving conventions, with fine feather detail on the eagle's plumage. |

| Reverse description | The central field bears the triskelion, or triskeles, the ancient armorial symbol of the Isle of Man, comprising three armoured legs conjoined at the thigh and radiating symmetrically, each leg flexed at the knee with a spur at the heel. Three small stars are interspersed between the legs in the field. The encircling legend reads QUOCUNQUE · IECERIS · STABIT (Wheresoever you throw it, it will stand), the traditional motto of the Isle of Man, disposed around the periphery in evenly spaced capital letters. The denomination I D 1/2 appears in the lower field beneath the triskelion. |
