    Isle of Man - First Year of Issue - Manx Cat - 1 Crown - 1988 - 1 oz. Proof .999 Silver - Mint Box and COA - This coin was minted from one troy ounce of .999 fine silver and was the first issue of what has become the Isle of Man Cat Coins Series, first issued in 1988. The tailless cat has become a symbol for its homeland, the Isle of Man, and was a natural choice for the first coin of this extremely popular series. The origins of this native Manx cat are steeped in mystery - biblical references abound, as do tales of ship-wrecked felines swimming ashore from Spanish Galleons. Shy but friendly, clever and endearing, the Manx cat has a personality all of its own, as does its coin. This beautiful proof silver cat crown from the Isle of Man Cat Coins Series makes a unique gift idea that will please the most discriminating cat lover and has become a favorite of collectors of world coins with animal themes.
