Manx kitty! :ok:

We had two of those when I was a kid (the cat, not the coin).

Nice looking coin, too.

Pobjoy Mint (Elfland) has been producing the Isle of Man cat series for 22 years in gold, silver and CuNi, a different breed for each year.

Goldwish, your coin is the first in the series, Manx, Isle of Man is where the Manx cat was bred. A 1/25ozt Manx coin goes for ~$300 usd

Re: Top Cat

very cool! I just lucked into this coin :) my interest in the IOM was spiked with the infamous Tourist Trophy race for motorcycles - the most awesome event on two wheels there could ever be. and I like kitties.

Seems like the only place that mints in 1/5 ounce coins that I've seen.

Re: Top Cat

WP, give me a link please. The Canadian site is kind of hard to negotiate. This is the only coin I found with a 5 in its description.
