Comment
Starting in 1998, several coins were issued with "Privy Marks," which for this particular coin included the "Chinese Lunar Calendar Privy Mark Series" among others.The Privy Mark is a small mark to either the left or right of the maple leaf stem, primarily used as a design and marketing feature. Other than the privy mark, the rest of the coin adheres to the same specifications and details as the normal, unmarked coin.
