Isle of Man – Abyssinian Cat & Kitten – 1 Crown – 2010 – Prooflike – The Abyssinian is a breed of domesticated cat with a distinctive ticked coat. There are many stories about its origins, often revolving around Ethiopia, but the actual origins are uncertain. The Abyssinian has become one of the most popular breeds of shorthair cat in the USA. The name ‘Abyssinian’ refers to Ethiopia, but most of the stories about the origins of Abyssinians refer to Egypt. Genetic research suggests the breed originated near the coast of the Indian Ocean, where colonists may have purchased animals from wild animal traders. The breed was developed in Egypt. The breed is sometimes believed to have originated from one Egyptian female kitten named Zula, who was taken from a port in Alexandria by a British soldier and brought to England in 1868. This theory is not established because there is no solid link between Zula and the cat first listed as an Abyssinian in 1882. Many sources repeat the story that the Abyssinian breed is a few thousand years old and comes from Ancient Egypt, as the cats resemble those in ancient paintings. Ancient Egyptians made sculptures of them. There are also stories that wild ‘Abyssinians’ live in parts of North Africa today.

To my knowledge, these are the only two world banknotes that feature wolves, and both of them can be found in this set. The top banknote, a 500 Tolanu piece from Lithuania was issued in 1993 and was withdrawn from circulation after only six weeks. The second banknote was issued by Belarus in 1992 and has a 5 Rublei denomination. Both banknotes are in Crisp Uncirculated condition. The 500 Dinara Crown was issued by Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1994 and has been almost impossible to find in the secondary market. I was fortunate enough to acquire a few pieces from a source in Europe and have included it as part of this group. This beautiful set would be a welcome addition to anyone who appreciates wildlife or collects world coins.
