Decided to collect these for my family members
I have waited each year from my family members animal to appear and purchased ready for them to be presented. I thought every medallion would be similar design for the '12 year' cycle but oddly one release was quite different. No idea why you would do that but not waiting another cycle. Luckily family member still happy but confused why their one is distinctly different (??). So if you continue into a second range please keep in mind people will collect and gift for family so a similar theme of the range is noticed....
