1998 Isle of Man 1 oz Gold Birman Cat BU
In 1998, the Isle of Man continued its popular feline-themed numismatic tradition, which originally commenced in 1988. This particular release highlights the Birman cat, a breed traditionally referred to as the Sacred Cat of Burma. The reverse design captures this elegant feline perched upon a wooden fence board, creating a charming and detailed scene. A small die letter U is visible on the surface, signifying its uncirculated status. Struck under the authority of the Isle of Man government, this coin contains one troy ounce of exceptionally pure 0.9999 fine gold. The obverse features a classic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by inscriptions that confirm the year of issue, the denomination of one Crown, and the weight of the precious metal.
