Iconic TT landmark to feature on special Isle of Man £2 coin
The Isle of Man is set to honour one of the most iconic moments in TT racing history with a brand new commemorative £2 coin. Featuring the legendary Sarah's Cottage on one side and the effigy of King Charles on the other, this special coin celebrates the dramatic hairpin turn that has thrilled spectators and tested riders for generations.
Perched on Creg Willey's Hill in German, Sarah's Cottage has become far more than just a roadside building—it's a crucial racing landmark and one of the most popular vantage points for TT fans. The tight corner demands precision and nerves of steel, making it a defining moment for riders tackling the challenging Mountain Course. Now, this iconic location will be immortalised on Manx currency for collectors and motorsport enthusiasts worldwide.
The new coin will be introduced following an order under the Currency Act, which will be laid before Tynwald when it sits in June. This official approval marks another milestone in celebrating the Isle of Man's most famous annual event and its rich racing heritage.
For tourists planning to experience the TT festival, this coin represents a wonderful memento of your visit. Whether you're watching the action from Sarah's Cottage itself or collecting Manx memorabilia, this limited-edition £2 coin offers a tangible piece of TT history to take home.
