Stunning Pandas Design by "Rocky" Zhao
Obverse: Like the reverse, the obverse was designed by "Rocky" Zhao. It features the first ever Queen Elizabeth II design by a Chinese artist ever to appear on a coin. Encircling the image are inscriptions of the monarch's name, "ELIZABETH II," the name of the issuing territory, "EAST CARIBBEAN STATES," the coin's two face values, "$5" and "FIVE CROWNS," and the date, "2021."
Reverse: A yin-yang symbol fills the reverse, and Tian Tian and Yang Guang feature prominently. Half of the yin-yang symbol is a Scottish tartan pattern, which represents the friendship of China and Scotland. The weight and purity of this coin are inscribed along the rim.
