In 2014, The Perth Mint's internationally renowned Australian Lunar Silver Series II celebrated the Year of the Horse, the seventh animal in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac.
These superb, colourized releases are perfect for people born in "horse" years - 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002 and 2014 - who are regarded as hardworking, sociable, optimistic and energetic.
The reverse was designed by Tom Vaughan and depicts two horses by a stream, one drinking, the other standing. They are surrounded by trees, and rocks. The horses themselves are detailed in enamel. The traditional Perth mintmark, a simple "P" is inscribed as well as the Chinese character for "horse" and the inscription "Year of the Horse". The obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II and the words "Elizabeth II Australia 1 oz 999 Silver 2014 1 Dollar".
This very limited issue silver coin is intricately detailed with enamel and is made from 999 pure silver.
ABOUT THE PERTH MINT
The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint's 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
