| Additional information |
The Scottish Fold cat series from the Isle of Man Treasury was part of a broader strategy by the Pobjoy Mint to capture the collector market for animal-themed bullion fractionals during the 1990s and early 2000s. The Scottish Fold breed itself originates from a single barn cat named Susie found in Perthshire in 1961, whose cartilage mutation was selectively developed into a recognized breed — an unusually recent origin story for a subject given numismatic treatment.
The 1/25 Crown fractional denomination was essentially a Pobjoy invention, with no monetary circulation function whatsoever.
