Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 100 Pound - Elizabeth II (Year of The Ox; Gold Proof) 2021 coin from the United Kingdom is that it features a unique design that combines traditional Chinese symbols with British elements. The coin's reverse side depicts a stylized ox, which is surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves, a traditional British motif. The ox is also adorned with a small, intricately designed crown, which represents the monarch's authority. This blending of cultural symbols is a nod to the long-standing relationship between the UK and China, and adds to the coin's collectibility and cultural significance.
