This was the third issue in the Isle of Man Cat Coins Series that began in 1988. One of life's great survivors, the cat has adapted to the hazards and pressures of big city life better than practically any other animal - including man. New York state's streetwise Alley cats - celebrated in the popular "Top Cat" cartoon series - are immortalized in loving detail on the reverse of this award winning 1990 coin. This beautiful uncirculated 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.
