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!
For sixteen years now, fans all over the world have eagerly awaited the annual release of the Cat bullion coins. With Cat ownership already approaching the four million mark, every year coin collectors and cat lovers never fail to give this long running favourite as rapturous reception. This year promises to be no exception, already playing to record houses. This edition features a relatively new breed - the Tonkinese, affectionately known as "Tonks" - which is already winning hearts and new owners around the world. A cross between Siamese and Burmese, the Tonkinese combines the best features of both breeds - warm, loving and highly intelligent. It also has an incredible memory and sharp senses almost akin to radar. The new Manx coin bears a finely detailed reverse design depicting two Tonkinese kittens enthralled by the antics of a butterfly.
Each Clad Proof coin comes presented in a PB1 display box.
