Comment
In 2015 a new bullion issue was introduced with a textured effect to both the obverse and reverse to help differentiate with what would become the Brilliant Uncirculated release which has plain fields similar to the 2013 & 2014 issues.Introduced in 2013, privy marks have been added to a plain edge of the coins to commemorate the Chinese Lunar Year:
Sp#BF12C Sheep privy mark
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique textured design on its fields, which adds a distinctive touch to its appearance. The textured fields are created through a process called "reeding," which involves engraving small grooves or ridges onto the surface of the coin. This technique not only adds visual interest but also helps to prevent counterfeiting by making it more difficult to replicate the coin's design.
