{{/presale}}Fusing British and Chinese heritage, The Royal Mint’s 2014 1 oz Silver Year of the Horse is now available at Provident Metals. Each coin contains one troy ounce of .999 fine silver.
The inaugural Lunar piece from the United Kingdom is the first release of the Shengxio Collection, which honors the Chinese zodiac. It is the nation’s first legal tender Lunar coin and holds a denomination of two pounds.
Designed by Wuon-Gean Ho, the reverse depicts a zestful, galloping horse with a flowing mane and tail. The animal looks to the viewer’s right as it trots on a British landscape. Inscriptions read YEAR OF THE HORSE and 2014.
A portrait of Queen Elizabeth II graces the obverse. ELIZABETH II DG, REG FID DEF and 2 POUNDS is inscribed.
People born during the Year of the Horse are said to be kind, clever, entertaining and cheerful, among many other strengths. Weaknesses can include a bad temper, impatience and pessimism.
Horse characteristics are attached to people born in 1918, 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002 and 2014. The stallion is the seventh animal in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese Lunar Zodiac.
