| Additional information |
The "Lucky Waving Cat" — the maneki-neko — is a Japanese talisman figure whose raised paw gesture derives from a disputed origin story, the most repeated being a 17th-century Edo temple cat that beckoned a feudal lord out of a lightning strike's path. Perth Mint targeted this series squarely at Asian collector markets, where demand for gold pieces carrying auspicious imagery drove a sustained run of themed issues through the 2000s. KM#154 sits in that commercial lineage rather than any monetary necessity.
