No Chinese characters on this version. Krauze catalogues lists 2 versions (with Chinese characters and without) for each denomination. There is no proof that each value was produced in both versions.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design of Peter Rabbit, a beloved character from Beatrix Potter's children's books, on its reverse side. This design was created specifically for the coin by the artist, Emma Noble, and it's the first time that Peter Rabbit has appeared on a coin. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This coin is a rare and collectible item, with only 2,500 pieces minted, making it a valuable addition to any coin collection.
