Isle of Man 1/2 Penny with Crest of the Stanley family (Lords of Mann), eagle holding baby child placed on ducal cap, surounded by their motto - Sans Changer (Without changing).

This same crest is on the outside bowl of the Stanley Cup / Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup where it says: FROM STANLEY OF PRESTON

Reverse side of coin is the Triskelion and motto OUOCUNQUE . IECERIS . STABIT, which is Latin and means: "whichever way you throw, it will stand". The motto dates to the 17th century, where it is first recorded as being present on Manx coinage dating to the year 1668. It is possible that the motto became associated to the Manx triskelion through these coins.

The Triskelion is the original crest of the Ottawa Hockey Club Hockey Sweater 1891
