1/25 Crown - Elizabeth II Manx Cat

The Manx Cat series from the Isle of Man Treasury has run in various formats since the 1980s, making it one of the longer-lived bullion programs from a British Crown dependency. The .9999 fineness on this issue reflects a refinement over earlier strikes in the series, which were produced to .999 or lower gold standards — a quiet but meaningful upgrade driven by competition with Canadian and Australian fractional bullion programs during the same period.
