| Isle of Man - 2000 Scottish Fold Cat Coin | |
|
The
Scottish Fold Cat. This coin is
the thirteenth of the series, and it has an adorable Scottish Fold Cat that is playing "ball" with a small globe of the
earth on the back, and a
picture of Queen Elizabeth II on the front.
The Scottish Fold is best known for its distinctive ears, which are folded forward and down, and by its large rounded eyes, which give it a sweet, wide-eyed expression. They are mellow and affectionate cats. Scottish Folds are found in both longhaired and shorthaired varieties, in a great number of colours and pattern combinations. Not all Scottish Fold kittens will have folded ears. All Scottish Fold kittens are born with straight ears. It isn't until the kitten is about three weeks old that a breeder will begin to know which kittens will have folded ears and which will not. There are degrees of folding, too -- usually described as a single, double, or triple fold. A single fold is generally a "loose" fold and isn't show quality. The most desirable fold is a triple fold, which is tight to the head. This coin is CuNi (Cupro Nickel) in a Brilliant Uncirculated minting. The contrast in the photo at left was enhanced to show the striking coin detail. SORRY - OUT OF STOCK |
