The Isle of Man Gold Cat coin collection honors the history of this remarkable little island, while providing a solid gold bullion coin. The Pobjoy Mint guarantees the Isle of Man Gold Cat 25th Ounce 1996 to be .999 pure gold and is graced with the stunning proof finish that provides an undeniable gleam to the coin. The Isle of Man Gold Cat 25th Ounce 1996 is also packaged in a coin flip to protect that precious proof finish from being scratched and tarnished.

The Burmese Cat was chosen to be the highlighted cat for 1996. Most Burmese cats are descendants of one female cat that was brought from Burma to North America in 1930 and was bred with an American Siamese cat. The Burmese originated as dark brown cats but now have a variety of colors they come in. Normally, this cat breed is dark with golden eyes and a dark, black pupil. They also have short noses, making them almost invisible on the darker cats. Along with the Burmese cat, the reverse bears the coin's weight and denomination. The obverse design is of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the coin series' name, and the coin's date of mintage.
