Comment
Coloured versionInteresting fact
The Tonkinese Cat coin, issued in 2004, is a unique and interesting coin from the Isle of Man, a British Crown dependency. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it features a cat breed that is now extinct. The Tonkinese cat was a breed of domestic cat that originated in Thailand (formerly known as Siam) and was popular in the 19th century. However, due to selective breeding and crossbreeding, the purebred Tonkinese cat is now considered extinct. The coin's design, created by sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley, showcases the Tonkinese cat's distinctive pointed pattern and captures the breed's elegance and beauty. This coin serves as a commemoration of the Tonkinese cat breed and is a valuable addition to any coin collection or feline-themed memorabilia.
