The Design:
The reverse design by Three Degrees Creative Group commemorates the Year of the Rooster with a stylized depiction of a rooster. Detailed engraving recreates its familiar appearance and captures the essence of the animal’s character: observant, resourceful and self-assured. Other symbolic elements are artfully incorporated into the design, including the gladiola flowers that are traditionally associated with this sign, as well as the Chinese character for “rooster”.
