The elegant 2014 2 oz  Australian Silver Horse coin is a testament to the Perth Mint’s excellent craftsmanship and artistry. As this year’s feature for the collectible Lunar Series, the Silver Horse coin celebrates the Year of the Horse. Coins that reflect the Chinese zodiac calendar are increasingly sought after by collectors and investors alike. This coin is no exception and is one of the most popular coins that the Perth Mint of Australia offers.

The finely wrought 2014 2 oz Australian Silver Horse coin depicts a pair of horses standing beside a stream; while one horse looks ahead, the other sips from the water. The addition of trees to the design makes for a lovely scene that sets this coin apart for its extraordinary design details. The inscription “Year of the Horse” is denoted on the coin as is the Chinese character for ‘horse’. Queen Elizabeth II is featured on the obverse side of the coin along with stamps for the year, the nation of Australia, the coin’s two troy ounce weight, and its .999 pure silver.
