2005's edition features a breed that commands more than its usual share of affection. The Himalayan has excited the imagination of cat lovers the world over. With a striking coat pattern borrowed from the Siamese but more physically akin to a Persian, the Himalayan combines the best qualities of both breeds in one adorable feline - laid back and easy going like the Persian, but with a dash of mischief inherited from their Siamese ancestors. This Manx coin bears a finely detailed reverse design depicting the Himalayan with two kittens.
Each Clad Proof coin comes presented in a PB1 display box.
