The 2014 1 oz Silver Australian Year of the Horse coin has a worldwide mintage of just 300,000, so don’t miss your shot at this beautiful coin.

The Chinese zodiac is a systematic future plan that relates an animal to each year of its 12-year cycle. The Perth Mint Lunar Series II correlates with the zodiac and launched in 2008 following the successful run of the Lunar Series I. Showcased on the 2014 Horse reverse is two horses positioned near a stream standing alongside trees and brush. One horse drinks from the stream while the other gazes off into the distance. A Chinese character meaning “horse” and “Year of the Horse” are inscribed as well. If you were born in 1906, 1918, 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002 or 2014, you’re influenced by the Year of the Horse. Social, optimistic, witty and diligent, the horse often loves to be in a crowd to socialize. The obverse depicts the familiar portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Inscriptions include the date, weight and fineness along with “ELIZABETH II,” “AUSTRALIA,” “2014” and “1 DOLLAR.”
