- 5£ Note – Castle Rushen, with its angular Norman architecture, was built between A.D. 947 and 960 by a Viking known as Godred the Dane. Regarded as one of the best examples of medieval castles in Europe, it served not only as the residence of the lords of Man until the 18th century, it also was used as a mint!
The front of each note features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, who is Queen of the United Kingdom and British Dominions, including the Isle of Man. These castle notes are a great addition to a world paper money collection.
