Triskelion Definitives
Isle of Man – We are pleased to present our very first collection of variable value self-adhesive definitive stamps. This first collection of four stamps is based on the Manx Three Legs of Man emblem which also known as a Triskelion. The legs usually run clockwise and carry the Latin motto ‘Quocunque Jeceris Stabit’ meaning ‘whichever way you throw, I stand’, a reference to the independence and resilience of the Manx people.The four versions of this emblem are based on:
The three legs as they appear in Douglas Town Hall
The Millenium of Tynwald three legs
The three legs as seen on the old brewery building on Castletown Quay
A modern interpretation of the three legs of man.
