An eBay seller has made £102 from a commemorative coin from the Isle of Man.
The coin is the Isle of Man Tosha Cat Youth Commonwealth Games coin.
According to sellers the coin is rare, althoguth it is shrouded by some mystery.
However the seller Catskie15 has made a good profit from the piece.
Four bidders made nine bids on the coin in total and the coin was sold this morning.
The seller simply said of the piece that it was “circulated but in good condition”.
Since the piece is listed as an Isle on Man coin it is likely to have been created by Pobjoy Mint.
The company, founded in 1965, is a competitor to Royal Mint. It has made commorative coins for many years.
The brand states: “Pobjoy Mint has not only been responsible for the revival of many age-old, long-forgotten numismatic customs but is also at the forefront of innovation.
“It developed the world’s first satisfactory man-made precious metal, Virenium, which has since been successfully used in high denomination coinage since 1978.
“Other firsts include the first braille coin, the first hologram coin, the first spinning coin and the first diamond shaped coin.”
However, it appears that very little information exists about the Tosha Cat coin online.
Another eBay user selling the coins has claimed there are only 7000 of the pieces, although there is no way to verify this.
In fact, a representative from Pobjoy revealed the figure is kept secret by the company.
Lee Boyce from This Is Money revealed in the Mail Online that the firm told him: “Unfortunately, we do not share mintage figures on our commemorative coins, let alone our circulating coins.
“Our circulating coins depend on how many the Government demand, in which case the issue limit is unlimited.”
Tosha the cat was the official mascot of the 2011 Commonwealth Games in the Isle of Man.
A rare 50p coin from the Isle of Man sold online for £500.
The piece was created to celebrate the TT racing which takes place on the Isle every year.
It has the image of two motorcyclists racing and a wreath on it.
Nantwich Collectibles sold one of the unique coins on January 3 for £510, with fourteen bids being made on the item.
