Whilst the Perth Mint have decided to use the "Year of the Goat", the Royal Mint are using the "Year of the Sheep". Both animals are recognised as the 8th in the lunar cycle.

The obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley fourth definitive UK coin portrait of the Queen with the inscription:

ELIZABETH·II·D·G REG·FID·DEF·100·POUNDS·

The 2015 lunar coin brings together both Chinese and British influences. The reverse engraving was designed by Wuon-Gean Ho, who took her inspiration from the Swaledale Sheep which are often found on the hillsides of the Peak District.
