Among those who submitted patterns were the United States, Britain, Japan, Austria, and Italy. The submissions were narrowed down to two designs which were similar: Britain and Italy. Both used a Chinese &quot;junk&quot; as the main device on the coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Keep going for answer.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The British &quot;junk&quot; pattern had three masts, the Italian &quot;junk&quot; pattern was rigged with two masts.
