DESIGN:
The reverse image by Canadian artist Simon Ng features a detailed depiction of a Bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis canadensis), which is native to Canada’s Rocky Mountains. Here, the sheep is viewed in three-quarter profile, which affords the viewer a close look at its distinctively long, spiral horns. An artistic rendering of bamboo – a symbol of longevity – fills the background. The Chinese character yang, meaning “sheep” or “goat,” appears below the sheep’s shoulder to represent the Year of the Sheep.
