The second design in the Chinese Lunar Year - Shēngxiào Collection, there were several different Year of the Horse issues of varying metals and denominations which all share Wuon-Gean Ho's design.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique design that combines traditional Chinese symbols with British elements. The reverse side of the coin depicts a sheep standing on a hill, surrounded by cherry blossoms and bamboo, while the obverse side features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This blend of cultures reflects the strong relationship between the UK and China, and makes the coin a distinctive and valuable collector's item.
