| Reverse description | The reverse presents two Swaledale sheep rendered in fine artistic detail by engraver Wuon-Gean Ho, their characteristic curled horns and dense fleece depicted with naturalistic precision. The pair of animals are shown in close proximity, symbolising family and friendship, with a Chinese character for sheep (羊) placed between them in the field. An encircling legend above the central device confirms the series title and year of issue, while the lower portion of the field bears the bullion specifications. The composition reflects the fusion of British and Chinese cultural iconography characteristic of the Royal Mint's Lunar series. |
