Many associate the Scottish Fold with its dominant-gene mutation that affects the cat's cartilage and causes its ears to "fold." This breed of cat was started 1961 when a white barn cat was discovered with folded ears resembling an owl. This cat had kittens that also carried the dominant gene and now the Scottish Fold breed is alive and well. On the 2000 silver coin, the Scottish Fold pictures a kitten and actually, the first kitten to be a part of the Isle of Man Silver Cat coin series. The adorable kitten is playing with an oversized ball, its infamous folded ears included. The coin's weight of one troy ounce of silver and the coin's denomination of 1 crown are both inscribed underneath the playful kitty's feet. To honor the monarch of the Commonwealth of Nations, Queen Elizabeth II has her youthful side portrait marking the obverse side of this coin. The Queen is pictured with a stern look and her delicate tendrils bear the weight of her substantial crown. The coin series' name and date of mintage are inscribed around the Queen.
