Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Canadian 2002 $15 Silver Elizabeth II (Year of the Horse) coin is that it has a unique design feature. The horse depicted on the coin is actually a composite of two different horse breeds - the head of a Thoroughbred and the body of a Quarter Horse. This was done to create a symbolic representation of strength and endurance, which are qualities associated with both breeds.
