You could search here for the specific year and filter as desired or just do some trawling depending what you're after.

If you want  unusual, I would think about: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces40617.html.

The £1 coin was introduced on the Isle of Man in 1978, 5 years before the UK.

The platinum Manx triskelion design is a tad rare and unusual, issued by the Pobjoy Mint.

Mintage 1,000 Proof .95 Platinum

I have one "spare".

Is it silver? What might you sell if for?

I will think about a maundy set, but this is not often appeared in the market, may have to source for months n years to have one.
