Isle of Man Gold Cat Half Ounce 1988

Showcasing the Manx cat, a cat indigenous to the Isle of Man, the Pobjoy Mint began their coin series in 1988. Each year the Pobjoy Mint, a private sector mint that produces mainly non-circulating coins and commemoratives, mints a silver and gold bullion coin with the image of a cat. The breed of cat changes yearly along with the low mintage of these bullion coins, alluring coin collectors to invest in this remarkable series. The Isle of Man Gold Cat Half Ounce 1988 coin is .999 pure gold, weighs 1/2 of an ounce, and is the inaugural year of the series. The coin contains a perfect sheen look as a proof coin and although the coin itself is over 20 years old, its condition insinuates a freshly produced coin. They are also packaged in individual coin flips for their protection during delivery.

Representing the face of the nation, Isle of Man, it is appropriate that this breed kicks off the series since its origins began on that island. The Manx has a genetic mutation wherein its tail is shortened and sometimes, nonexistent. This unfortunate mutation is shown on the reverse design of the coin. The Manx is standing, so its whole body is revealed to the observer. This side of the coin also bears the coin's weight, purity, and legal tender value. The obverse regally displays Queen Elizabeth II in an elegant side profile view. The Queen is accompanied by the coin's place and year of mintage on the obverse as well. The Isle of Man Gold Manx Cat coin is the ideal gift for the animal lover in your life.
