Year after year cat lovers and coin collectors enjoy these wonderful coins. The Isle of Man government has issued a crown every year since 1988 depicting a different cat to the delight of cat lovers and coin collectors everywhere.

This award winning collection has already found a home with millions of proud owners. The obverse of the coin features the official portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and the reverse design features a detailed relief of the star feline each year, including the Manx, Persian, Norwegian Forest Cat and many more!

In 1988, the Isle of Man introduced the very first Cat coin which featured the Manx Cat. The Cat is now one of the World’s most famous coins and to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of this amazing series, the twenty-fifth coin will again feature the tailless Manx Cat.

Many Manx Cats have a small stub of a tail but the breed is best known as being tailless which is the most distinguishing characteristic of the breed.
