DESIGN:
The reverse image by Canadian artist Simon Ng features an artistic rendering of a Bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis canadensis) – a native of Canada’s Rocky Mountains. The use of colour showcases the sheep’s beautiful brown colouring. Nestled within the curl of the sheep’s distinctive spiral horn, the Chinese character yang (meaning “sheep” or “goat”) denotes the Year of the Sheep.
