Year after year cat lovers and coin collectors enjoy these wonderful coins. The Isle of Man government has issued a crown every year since 1988 depicting a different cat to the delight of cat lovers and coin collectors everywhere. The Cat Coin Collection has become Pobjoy's most popular series. In fact, it is so popular; it has been voted "Most Popular Coin of the Year" internationally. This award winning collection has already found a home with millions of proud owners. The obverse of the coin features the official portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and the reverse design features a detailed relief of the star feline each year, including the Manx, Persian, and Norwegian Forest Cat and many more!
One of the best loved British Shorthair breeds, the British blue is strikingly beautiful with its smooth, silky, blue-colored, dense coat and glowing amber eyes. The breed is a skilled mouser, can adapt to virtually all situations and make excellent family pets. This well loved breed is shown in exquisitely sculpted detail on the reverse of this 1999 coin.
Each Clad Proof coin comes presented in a PB1 display box.
