HISTORICAL DESIGN

A redesign of Chinese currency centered around the importance of cats in Chinese history and society. Tigers are respected as symbols of power and bravery. They are considered the king of animals, denoting royalty and protection. Cats played a huge role in the development of early China; they protected fields, allowing effective food production which led to specialization. The new currency design is a tribute to the vital role of felines within Chinese culture which weaves a beautiful tapestry of national progress.
