Showcasing the Manx cat, a cat indigenous to the Isle of Man, the Pobjoy Mint began their silver coin series in 1988. Each year the Pobjoy Mint, a private sector mint that produces mainly non-circulating coins and commemoratives, mints a silver bullion coin with the image of a cat. The breed of cat changes yearly along with the low mintage of these bullion coins, alluring coin collectors to invest in this remarkable series. Your 1988 silver cat coin is only one of 15,000 minted for that year and is .999 pure silver. The silver coin contains a perfect sheen look as a proof coin and although the coin itself is over 20 years old, its condition insinuates a freshly produced coin. They are also packaged in individual coin flips for their protection during delivery.
Representing the face of the nation, Isle of Man, it is appropriate that this breed kicks off the series since its origins began on that island. The Manx has a genetic mutation wherein its tail is shortened and sometimes, nonexistent. This unfortunate mutation is shown on the reverse design of the coin. The Manx is standing, so its whole body is revealed to the observer. This side of the coin also bears the coin's weight, purity, and legal tender value of 1 crown. The obverse regally displays Queen Elizabeth II in an elegant side profile view. The Queen is accompanied by the coin's place and year of mintage on the obverse as well. The Isle of Man Silver Manx Cat coin is the ideal gift for the animal lover in your life. This prestigious coin series offers more than the value of silver, it offers numismatic value so your coin exceeds the price of silver. Whether you are interested in buying silver online or over the phone, this coin collection is a must for your repertoire.
