The obverse traditionally features the effigy of Her Majesty Elizabeth II. Among the inscriptions, there are: the Queen’s name, the face value of the coin, its metal fineness, issuing country and year.

The reverse is a lively depiction of a Javanese cat with two Swarovski elements as its eyes. The other cat and some decorative motifs are outlined in the background. Extremely affectionate and intelligent, the Javanese breed was developed from crossing the Siamese with Color point Shorthair and Balinese cats. There’s a reason we call dogs and cats man’s best friends. The world’s most popular pet, cats are known for their affection and endearment combined with chilly independence. Cats and their humans, especially women, form strong social bonds and a mutual understanding based on affection and indulgence.
