The 2007 gold crowns from the Isle of Man feature a Ragdoll Cat as their reverse design. These are part of the popular cat series of coins, probably started by the Manx cat originally featured some years ago.
Manx Cat Series
Since the release of the first coin in 1988, the Isle of Man Manx Cat series has become one of the most popular gold bullion series in the world. Each coin has depicted a cat or kitten and 2006 sees the issue of another wonderful coin, this time depicting three beautiful Exotic Shorthair kittens.
Ragdoll Cat
The defining characteristic of the original Ragdoll is its docile temperament and tendency to go limp when picked up, thought to be due to a genetic mutation or passed down from the Persian and Birman breed. This has led to the myth that Ragdolls are pain-resistant. They are generally considered gentle and laid back animals.
The Ragdoll has a sturdy body with a large frame and proportionate legs. The genes for point coloration is also responsible for the blue eyes of the Ragdoll.
