ISLE OF MAN 1 Crown 1997 Silver Proof 'Miacis Dinictis Cat - History of the Cat'

Description: ISLE OF MAN 1 Crown 1997 Miacis Dinictis - HISTORY OF THE CAT The Isle of Man launched a series of crowns depicting the History of the Cat. These coins trace the development of the cat from wild origins to its revered position in ancient Egypt and to the modern-day Manx Cat from the Isle of Man. Cats can be traced back to ancient times in Egypt and Rome.About 4,000 years ago, the ancient Egyptians carved wooden figures of cats. They also made furniture and jewelry in the shape of cats. In ancient Rome, the cat was a symbol of liberty. Scientists believe that the earliest cat was probably an animal called Miacis, which lived about 55 million years ago. Fossils indicate the Miacis looked somewhat like a sease. Scientists believe that members of the cat family as we know it today began to appear about 40 million years ago. The ancestors of the African wildcat, the Kaffir cat of North Africa, and the European wildcat were probably also the ancestors of today's domestic cats. Miacis was somewhat martin-like in appearance. The distinguishing characteristic was the teeth, which set the basis for all modern carnivores. The dental plan had incisors, canines, premolars, carnassials, and molars in each jaw. The carnassials were used for the cutting of flesh in a scissor-like action and were vital in the killing of other predators. Miacis was a short-term creature, quickly evolving under the pressure of competition into several different miacids, each of which went on to become a differing type of carnivore. By 45 million years ago, one of these differing creatures was profelis, the forerunner of all cats. Limited Mintage .
