Interesting fact
The 1996 Isle of Man Elizabeth II (Burmese Cat) ⅒ Crown coin is unique in that it features a cat breed that is not typically associated with royalty or coinage. The Burmese cat is a breed that originated in Thailand (formerly Burma) and was brought to the West in the 19th century. It is known for its distinctive brown-tinted coat and green eyes. The choice of featuring a Burmese cat on a coin may have been a nod to the popularity of the breed among cat fanciers, or simply a way to showcase the diversity of animal life on the Isle of Man. Regardless of the reason, it makes for an interesting and unusual addition to any coin collection.
