Modern Chinese Varieties: 1990 Silver 50Y 5 oz Horse

This month we will feature the 1990 Silver 50Y 5 oz Horse variety. This coin can be found with two reverse varieties.

The first variety (pictured below) is an example featuring “long grass" and a centered "50Y" (Photo 1). The red arrows point to where the alignment of 50Y falls in relation to the waves (Photo 2).
