Isle of Man 1786 George III Penny Good (G4) DOD
Currency from the Isle of Man features the Triskele, a set of three armoured legs in spurs arranged in a clockwise spiral. The emblem was adopted in the thirteenth century as a royal coat of arms for Manx kings, and was retained when the Island passed to the English Crown. Exactly what the symbol represents is up for debate, but it is usually accompanied by the Latin phrase Quocunque jeceris stabit, which translates, "Wherever you throw it, it will stand." This suggests stability and resilience are at the heart of the symbolism. It's also likely that the Manx Triskele descends from the Celtic Triskele, which looks like a series of three radiating spirals and has been used to represent motion, progress, and the importance of the number 3 since at least 3200 BCE, when it was carved into the lintel at Newgrange.
