So this is the hologram design. Working on a new coin design however.
That will be one sweet hologram.
Any reason start/end with years 1958/2018??
Thanks
sure not a bad idea. The mintages are going to be numbered quite low so maybe 5 coins DIY or something? As you did so well selling the last DIY these could be for you to sell 
.
Here is the final version which is at the manufacturers for quotation so if anyone spots a mistake please tell me. I did check but sometimes these things slip through.
But I am still struggling with the art work for the front. I will persevere however and hope to release start of the year if I get he coin art work done quickly.

I like this very much !
What I would like is that there will be two versions available, one "NORMAL"coin with address+privatekey behind hologram and one "DIY" version (coin + loose holo). If it would be possible: the Normal coin serial numbered, the DIY no serial. So the Normal coin is a bit more exclusive than the DIY.
Looking forward to more deisgn concepts and when it is possible to preorder please let us know.

Hologram looks great. Are all the animals custom designed or are they stock images?
They are photos found from the web.. then turned into black and white and will hopefully make it really 3D in the holo.
They look similar to Perth mints lunar animals ....

1993 listed twice - typo, no 1991 (Goat). Needs checking to make sure its 100%
If Halo and I can spot, then I am sure there could be others
BUT ... I love this as a holo.
Fantastic. Yes those are the last things to change as well as the 1 bitcoin to another value but haven't sat down and written the years out yet as she keeps moving them I agree the holo will look good if the 3D effect of the animals work out as expected. SimpLe and straight to the point. If Halo and I can spot, then I am sure there could be others
BUT ... I love this as a holo.
Thanks for the feedback so far and will do the changes mentioned and get it away to be manufactured.

Beautiful design. BTW...is 1970 there?...maybe it should replace 1958?

You have an opportunity with lunar year design to create an endless series if done right.
minerjones lays it out nicely in (his?) first comment.
Not completely certain, but lunar years look something like this...
http://www.whatsonxiamen.com/xiamen-info-781.html
Maybe something to define the year of minting.
BTW, not at all suggesting the design on that web page for the front but maybe something like it
on the back...of course done MUCH more beautifully/detailed and incorporating bitcoin info.
Google results for lunar year silver rounds (so you don't end up being too similar).
A well done design + striking could make these must haves. You may want to design a few of the animals in advance so they carry the same look/theme per series?
Then, premiums for proof or using different metals

"Interesting indeed. They will be 1 troy ounce. What about 0.1 bitcoin then? Or is that too small for a 1 troy ounce coin?"
I would like the value in loaded btc to be equal to the value of the silver at the time of release. but I am likely to be in the minority regarding that ;-).

I see no point in making the value of silver the same as the Bitcoin denomination. Either silver or Bitcoin value will change over time, so it won't stay constant. Even so, I don't see a value in it.
The change in value over time is the point.
I like the second option better although the symbol may need some touching up.
What will the coin be like? Will the design be tone? Also think a 0.1 denomination will be better.

I like the second one better, but that grin and those eyes make me think he just smoked a big one. 
would you buy it though? I think its better also but still I dont really like it
I like the top one, but I guess it depends on the "mood" that you want to set for the whole line of coins.
Would you stay with a more "cartoonish" look for the entire line or would there be a new "style" each animal??
Maybe add the .999 purity rating as well to the front.
Will there be any kind of BTC mention on the front of the coin??
Thanks
There will be 1 BTC on the front sure or what ever denomination is decided upon. I dont want to really go down the cartoonish road and didn't like the last designs I was just curious if it was just me that didn't like them. I prefer realistic images. I will have to seek another designer I think.

And the chinese symbol is made of chocolate .....
