Crafted in sterling silver, the Australian Lunar Series coin is a prestigious purchase or gift for anyone born under the Chinese lunar sign of the Horse.<\/p>\n
The Perth Mint’s Australian Lunar Series II coin series celebrates the 12 animals of the ancient Chinese lunar calendar. Each year in the series is represented by a unique depiction of an animal corresponding to the Eastern horoscope. In 2014, that sign is the Horse.<\/p>\n
The Year of the Horse is associated with qualities such as energy, endurance, independence and determination. People born under this sign are characterized by freedom-loving, courage and charisma. The horse occupies the seventh position in the twelve-year cycle of the Eastern calendar.<\/p>\n
This coin is an ideal gift or addition to a collection for those born in the Year of the Horse: 1918, 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014.<\/p>\n
