The Norwegian Forest Cat is a domestic breed that is comfortable in extreme cold climates. This cat has 2 layers of fur to keep it warm: outside glossy coat, water- shedding coat, and then a woolly undercoat for proper insulation and warmth. The Norwegian Forest Cats' size is much larger than the average cat, containing a long, sturdy body. Their heads are long and in the form of a triangle. Their eyes are large and oval shaped. They are especially known for their long, thick, bushy tails. Their noses protrude to a prominent length. These cats are pretty with a dire need to be outside, especially if it's cold!

The obverse of this coin displays Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at a side angle. Written around her are the words, "Isle of Man", and the coin's year of mintage, "1991". The reverse pictures a large Norwegian Forest cat standing on all fours. Its prominent bushy tail is in the air as if the cat is shyly walking. The cat is accompanied by another cat and a couple of seagulls in the distance. The coin's weight of 1 oz is also displayed underneath the cat's dainty feet.
