Australian Series II Lunar Gold One-Twentieth Ounce 2014 Horse

Fresh from the prestigious Perth Mint, the Australian Lunar Series II Gold 1/20 ounce 2014 Horse coins have taken off in interest among coin collectors everywhere. The Perth Mint has seemed to focus on the original combination of matte brilliantly uncirculated and the gleaming qualities of the proof coin in this new series. Inspired by the ancient Chinese zodiac calendar, the Perth Mint wanted to create an on-going series for collectors to invest in. For a very long time, horses have been revered by Chinese culture. Due to their speed, sweet demeanor, and strength, many people relied on the horse to get from point A to point B. They also depended on the horse to deliver urgent messages in times of war and strife. People born under the Year of the Horse are popular, striving to always move forward, and are very cheerful when it comes to doing their job.

The Australian Lunar Series II Gold 1/20 ounce 2014 Horse is guaranteed, by the oldest working mint in Australia, to be .9999 pure gold and comes encapsulated in a mint-sealed capsule for protection. Ian Rank-Broadley's masterpiece portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is the focus on the obverse of this coin and all coins minted in the Commonwealth of Nations. In all of her splendor, the Queen is elegantly sitting in a side pose while wearing a lovely tiered crown. The Queen is accompanied by the coin's place and date of mintage, gold weight and purity. The reverse design of the coin reveals an adult mare, briskly running through a grassy pasture. Everything admired about stallions is pictured on this coin. The Chinese symbol for "horse" and "Year of the Horse," are also included on this side of the coin.
