| Isle of Man - 1992 Siamese Cat Coin | |
|
The Siamese Cat.
Truly a Royal animal whose ancestors spent centuries within the confines of
Thailand's temples and Royal Palaces. No commoner was allowed to own one. Just
over 100 years ago, the first Siamese cats reached the West and captivated all with their
charm and beauty. This oriental "aristocrat" graces the reverse of the
superb 1992 Cat release. The 1992 coin is the fifth of the Cat series, and it has a beautiful Siamese Cat on the back and a picture of Queen Elizabeth II on the front. 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. |

|
The 1992 Siamese Cat coin is also available in one troy ounce (31.1035 grams) of .999 fine Silver in a Proof quality. Proof coins have the coin background polished to a deep mirror finish prior to the coin being "struck". Then, the coin is struck multiple times so that the raised areas have a pleasant frosted appearance. The result is a very beautiful coin. This coin has an issue limit of 50,000 pieces, and comes with a "Certificate of Issue" in an attractive presentation case. |
