| Reverse description | Five horses parade around a colorful hologram featuring a sprig of two maple leaves. With a decorative pattern in the background, the overall design of this coin echoes the ornate art typical of Chinese pottery, embroidery and sculpture. In Chinese culture, the horse is a symbol of strength. It is the seventh sign in the Chinese zodiac and a significant status symbol, often portrayed in figurines found buried with important figures in Chinese history. The character symbol for strength is `li`. It seems that the horse has a natural association with this symbol, because its shape bears a likeness to a plough and plough share used as farming implement. At the center of the design is a hologram with a shimmering maple leaf—the symbol of Canada. |
