This coin was the seventeenth issue of what has become the Isle of Man Cat Coins Series, first issued in 1988 and the third coin in the colorized series issued on cards. Affectionately known as "Tonks", the Tonkinese is a relatively new breed and is the result of crossing Siamese and Burmese breeds. The result is a cat that has the best qualities of each. The breed is warm, loving and highly intelligent and makes a wonderful companion. The fur is short, soft and shiny and their bodies are slender with long legs. The reverse of the 2004 coin depicts a pair of delightful kittens enthralled by a butterfly. 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.
