| Reverse description | The reverse features a bold, stylized depiction of an ox rendered in a traditional Chinese decorative idiom, executed as a holographic and polychromatic colored design occupying the full field of the coin. The ox is shown facing left in a frontal-oblique stance, its body outlined in dark relief against a shimmering iridescent holographic background that displays shifting hues of violet, green, gold, and rose. Decorative cloud motifs appear above the animal's head, while a stylized mountain landscape is visible beneath its hooves, rendered in warm amber tones with turquoise linear detailing. A small circular privy mark or engraver's initial device appears in the upper right field. The overall composition reflects the artistic conventions of the Royal Canadian Mint's Lunar series, celebrating the Year of the Ox in the Chinese zodiac calendar. |
