Introduced in 1996, Lunar Series I was a groundbreaking collection from Perth Mint that started a trend that is still alive and well in 2023. Not only has the concept of lunar-themed bullion expanded to other mints, it also continues at Perth Mint with the Lunar Series III collection that launched in 2020. Right now, you can get 2002 Australian Lunar Horse 1 oz Silver Coins online at Provident Metals.

Obverse
On the obverse side of 2002 Australian Lunar Horse Silver Coins, you will find an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. The famed fourth-generation portrait, this design from Ian Rank-Broadley shows the Queen in right-profile relief wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. Inscriptions read ELIZABETH II, AUSTRALIA, and 1 DOLLAR.
Reverse
The reverse field of the 2002 Lunar Horse 1 oz Silver Coin comes with a depiction of a horse. Here, the horse is shown running across the design field with its full-length figure shown in left-profile relief. The design element includes 2002, 1 OZ 999 SILVER, and the Chinese symbol for a horse.
History
The 2002 Australian Lunar Horse Silver Coin is the fourth silver coin issued in the collection. The first three issues from 1996 to 1998 offered only gold bullion coins, with silver coins introduced in 1999 during the Year of the Rabbit.
