Interesting fact
The Manx Cat coin is a unique and interesting collector's item, as it features a rare breed of cat that has no tail. The coin's design showcases the Manx Cat in a sitting position, with its distinctive lack of tail evident. This feature makes the coin stand out from other coins that typically feature animals with tails. Additionally, the coin's gold composition and limited mintage of 1,000 coins only add to its rarity and value.
