Description
Description
This 2014 1 Kilo Silver coin forms part of the Australian Second Lunar Series. It makes the perfect gift for people born in the Year of the Horse as well as a great investment opportunity for bullion collectors.
2014 Year of Horse Design
The reverse of this coin depicts two horses standing proud within a stylised Chinese landscape – a composition that captures the Horse’s enduring symbolic status in Chinese art and culture with grace and authority. At 1 kilogram, the design carries a weight and presence that no smaller denomination can replicate. The depth of relief and the interplay of polished and frosted surfaces are simply more impressive at this scale.
The design incorporates the Chinese character for ‘Horse’ (馬), the inscription Year of the Horse, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark – confirming both its cultural grounding and its sovereign provenance. The obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II alongside the coin’s AUD $30 face value.
The Horse: Symbol & Story
In Chinese tradition, the Horse is the seventh animal of the zodiac and among the most revered. Associated with strength, freedom, nobility, and perseverance, the Horse has been a central figure in Chinese art, literature, and culture for thousands of years – revered for its roles in agriculture, warfare, and trade across Chinese history. The 2014 Horse is specifically a Wood Horse year, a combination occurring only once every 60 years, lending additional significance to coins from this particular issue.
For buyers born in Horse years (1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014) this coin carries personal resonance beyond its metal content. As a gift, a 1kg Silver Horse is genuinely extraordinary – the kind of piece that is kept, displayed, and passed on.
The Series: Closed, Complete, Finite
The Australian Lunar Series II concluded in 2019 after twelve years and twelve zodiac animals. The programme will not be reprinted or reissued. 1kg editions across the series were produced in substantially smaller quantities than their 1oz and 10oz counterparts, and the secondary market for large-format Lunar coins has strengthened accordingly.
Critically, the Year of the Horse returned in 2026 – meaning collector and gifting demand for original 2014 Horse coins is already being renewed. Buyers who track zodiac cycles understand that pre-cycle acquisition of the relevant coin almost always precedes a period of heightened interest and upward price pressure on secondary supply.

What is the history of the Perth Mint Lunar Series?
The Perth Mint Lunar Series is renowned for its exquisite bullion coins that honour the Chinese zodiac. With a history spanning nearly three decades, the series has evolved significantly, offering a wide range of gold and silver coins for investors and collectors alike.
Key Highlights
- First Coin Struck: 1996 (Year of the Rat)
- Series Iteration: Currently in Series III (as of 2024)
- Original Focus: Gold bullion coins only (later expanded to silver)
The Early Years (Series I: 1996-2007)
The Perth Mint pioneered the Lunar bullion market with Series I, launched in 1996 with the Year of the Rat. Initially, the series featured only gold coins in four sizes:
- 1 oz
- 1/4 oz
- 1/10 oz
- 1/20 oz
That year, there was just one numismatic release catering to collectors rather than bullion investors.
Due to its success, silver coins were introduced in 1999, significantly expanding the program. By the mid-2000s, the silver lineup included 36 different variations, appealing to a broader audience.
Gold offerings also expanded:
- 2000: Introduction of 2 oz, 10 oz, and 1 kg gold coins.
- 2004: A 1/2 oz gold coin was added.
- 2006: The series reached its peak with a massive 10 kg gold coin.
Series I concluded in 2007 with the Year of the Pig.
Lunar Series II (2008-2019)
Series II began in 2008 (Year of the Rat) and continued the tradition of high-quality gold and silver Lunar coins. The designs were refreshed, and the series maintained its popularity among collectors and investors.
Notable developments included:
- Expanded silver offerings, including rectangular coins and colourised editions.
- Continued production of large gold coins, including 1 kg and 10 oz sizes.
Series II concluded in 2019 with the Year of the Pig, completing the second 12-year zodiac cycle.
The Current Chapter: Series III (2020-Present)
As of 2024, the Perth Mint is in Series III, which began in 2020 (Year of the Mouse). The series continues to innovate with stunning designs and special editions.
2024: Year of the Dragon
The 2024 Dragon coin is particularly sought after due to the dragon’s cultural significance in Chinese tradition. Additionally, the Perth Mint celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2024, marking all coins with a special “P125” mintmark, enhancing their collectibility.
2025: Year of the Snake
The 2025 Lunar Snake coin continues Series III with:
- Elegant designs featuring the serpent, symbolising wisdom, and prosperity.
- Available in gold and silver, with various sizes (1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, etc.).
- Special finishes, including proof, colourised, and high-relief versions.
- Bullion and numismatic releases, catering to both investors and collectors.
The snake is the sixth animal in the zodiac cycle, and its coin is expected to be highly popular, continuing the Lunar Series’ legacy of exceptional craftsmanship.
From its humble beginnings in 1996 to its current global acclaim, the Perth Mint Lunar Series remains a premier choice for bullion and numismatic collectors.
