| Beschrijving voorzijde | Within a raised inner circle, a panoramic view of Peel Castle rendered in fine relief, depicting the medieval fortifications, towers, and ruined structures set upon a rocky coastal promontory, with choppy seas in the foreground and a single-masted sailing vessel navigating the waves to the left. The surrounding legend reads PEEL CASTLE at the top and ISLE OF MAN at the bottom, separated by the inner circle border. The coin's milled outer rim frames the composition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Douglas Bank was one of dozens of private Scottish banking houses that issued copper token coinage during the acute small-change famine of the Napoleonic Wars, when hoarding and government mint failures left commerce starved of low-denomination currency. The Bank of Douglas, founded in Lanark, had collapsed by 1778, which makes the attribution of an 1811 issue to this name genuinely puzzling — the tokens are now understood to have been struck by a later commercial interest trading on the Douglas name rather than the original institution.
