1997 Isle of Man 1 oz Gold Longhaired Smoke Cat BU
The Isle of Man is renowned for its captivating coinage celebrating feline breeds, a beloved series that ran from 1988 to 2012. This particular 1997 release honors the striking Longhaired Smoke cat, capturing the breed's distinctively plush and elegant coat in remarkable detail. Crafted from one troy ounce of highly refined 0.9999 fine gold, the coin is a testament to the island's dedicated minting standards. On the obverse, the coin displays a classic portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by the inscriptions indicating her name, the issuing nation, and the year 1997. The reverse showcases the majestic feline subject alongside the denomination of one Crown. A special die letter 'U' is also visible on the surface, which designates this specific piece as an uncirculated issue, preserving its original mint luster.
