Comment
In 2007 the RAM launched an on-going series of Fine Gold (.999) NCLT Proof ten dollar coins depicting each Lunar year and their representative animals. The series ran until 2018. This 2014 dated eighth coin in the series was issued in a capsule in a wooden box.Aluminium-bronze & Fine Silver (.999) $1 versions of the coin were also issued.
The Chinese Zodiac is based on a twelve year cycle, each year being represented by an animal. People born in the "Year of the Horse" are good to be around because of their high spirits and energy. However they can sometimes be selfish, cunning and egotistical. They are impatient and not to be trusted with a secret.
Interesting fact
The 2014 Australian $10 Gold Proof Coin featuring the 4th portrait of Elizabeth II and the Year of the Horse has a unique feature - it's the first time the Royal Australian Mint has included a privy mark on a gold proof coin. The privy mark, a small horse, is located on the coin's reverse, adding an extra layer of detail and authenticity to the coin.
