Celebrate the historic harmony of culture, nationhood, and majestic artistry with this exceptional 2010 release from the Royal Canadian Mint's "Blessings" series. This proof-finish sterling silver coin beautifully balances elegant Chinese decorative design elements with an iconic Canadian signature.
- The Design: The reverse features a highly intricate design by artist Simon Ng, showcasing five parading horses interspersed between ornate, traditional floral patterns reminiscent of ancient pottery and sculptures. At the core sits a vibrant, shimmering hologram focal point depicting a sprig of two maple leaves. The horse serves as a token figure of strength in Chinese culture—the seventh sign of the zodiac—represented beside the character symbol for strength ("li"). The obverse captures the classic, authoritative effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
- Packaging & Integrity: The coin is safely secured in its original protective acrylic capsule, housed in the Royal Canadian Mint's signature plush maroon clamshell presentation display box, and includes the illustrated black protective outer sleeve alongside its unique serialized Certificate of Authenticity (COA).
