Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2009 Australian 1000 Dollar Elizabeth II (4th Portrait - Year of the Ox - Gold Bullion Coin) is that it has a unique design feature. The coin's reverse side features a representation of a ox in a stylized landscape, but if you look closely, the ox is actually made up of tiny, intricately designed Chinese characters. These characters spell out the word "ox" in Chinese, adding an extra layer of cultural significance to the coin's Lunar Year of the Ox theme. This unique design element sets the coin apart from other coins in the series and makes it a truly special collector's item.
