Comment
The first design in the Chinese Lunar Year - Shēngxiào Collection, there were several different strikes for the Year of the Horse with varying compositions and denominations which all share Wuon-Gean Ho's design.The proof and bullion issues both have plain fields but the bullion strike has an additional legend with the weight and fineness on the reverse. A mule error was also produced, see link below.
The Uffington white horse featuring on the reverse is an ancient carving in the chalk hills of Oxfordshire, U.K.
