2002 Macau Gold 3 Coin Patacas Set
In 2002 the Royal Mint issued a coin set to to commemorate the Year Of The Horse.

Macau 3 Coin Gold Set
According to the Royal Mint Certificate which accompanies this coin:

Chinese mythology tells of a day when Buddah summoned all animals to a meeting and promised that any of them whom paid him homage would be honoured by having a year named after them. Only 12 animals arrived at the meeting place and so each year of the twelve year cycle of the Chinese calender was named after an animal in the order they arrived at the meeting with Buddha. The rat, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, cockerel, dog and pig.
To commemorate the Chinese New Year,the AMCM (Monetary and Foreign Exchange Authority of Mocao) regularly issue a limited number of proof Gold and Silver Sets.
