The Himalayan Cat was chosen to be the breed presented on the reverse of the Isle of Man Gold Cat 5th Ounce 2005 coin. Himalayans are known for their incredibly long and fluffy hair that is reminiscent to the Persian cat. The Himalayan also has a very small face with a "smushed in" nose. This breed of cat is so ancient, historians are finding it difficult to trace back the original ancestors that started this adorable breed. The stunning reverse design features a mother Himalayan with her kittens. Among the remarkable proof features, the mother and her kittens are in a frosted finish, enhancing the famous details of the Himalayan breed. The reverse also bears an inscription to prove the coin's authenticity and legal tender value. The obverse includes a beautiful effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, portrayed as young and powerful. The Queen's famous curls bear the weight of a heavy yet elegant crown to prove her royalty. The series' name, "Isle of Man," and the year of mintage, "2005," are both etched into to obverse.
