2014 Australian Gold Year of the Horse Lunar Coins
The 2014 Australian gold bullion 'Year of the Horse' coins are to be released on the 2nd September 2013, and we received our first delivery soon after. These are part of the second series for the Chinese Lunar Calendar.
Lunar Coin Brief History
The Chinese Lunar Calendar is based on a 12 year cycle, each year in the cycle is associated with a different animal. The Perth Mint in Australia started issuing series of Chinese Lunar Calendar Coins, in gold and silver, in 1996, which was the Year of the Rat. The 12 year cycle of this first series ran from 1996 to 2007 inclusive, and all designs proved to be very popular. We rarely manage to buy any of the older years, which tend to be very hard to source.
The second series has proved even more popular than the first, with the one ounce coins being massively oversubscribed at The Mint.
We recommend that you buy this year's coins while we still have them available.
New Series II Design Feature
The reverse of all sizes and weights is to be identical, while the obverse will show both the monetary denomination, and the size (weight of gold content). This is a change from the first series, on which the weight was always shown on the reverse.
The second series also features the Chinese character for the animal the year represents, so the 2014 coins feature the Chinese character for the Horse.
