2019 Lucky Cat 1oz Silver Proof Coin

Known as the ‘maneki-neko’ in Japan, the ‘lucky cat’ or the ‘beckoning cat’ is a talisman believed to bring good luck to its owner. The cat will generally have its left or right paw raised with its palm facing down.

It is said a lucky cat with both paws raised will invite protection of the owner’s residence or place of business. Cats of a golden colour are believed to bring wealth and prosperity.

Struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver, the design features a golden lucky cat with both paws raised surrounded by representations of ancient Chinese coins and a gold ingot with an inscription of the Chinese character for ‘good fortune’. The design also includes the Chinese characters for ‘ushering in wealth and prosperity’ and The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark.

The coin is delivered in an amazing presentation case featuring a figurine of a lucky cat waving its left paw. The case sits within a themed box and is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
