The Exotic Shorthair is the featured cat breed for the Isle of Man Gold Cat 5th Ounce 2006 coin. This breed of cat is known for its small head, wide eyes, and adorably short noses. Their looks are similar to that of a Persian cat, minus the long hair. The Exotic Shorthair cats are kittens on the reverse side of the coin.

"Isle of Man," and "2006," are both inscribed by the rim of the coin.
