The lunar calendar holds a rich history, dating back to the 14th century B.C. Legends tell of the Jade Emperor organizing a race among animals across a swift river, granting a zodiac place to the first 12 to cross. The seventh to finish was the horse, earning its spot in the zodiac. Embrace the significance of the Year of the Horse with the 2002 Australian Lunar Horse 2 oz Silver Coin, available now at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Each 2002 Australian Lunar Horse 2 oz Silver Coin arrives in a protective capsule, preserving your coins condition. This coin signifies the fourth release in the overall silver series.
Obverse
On the obverse side of the 2002 Lunar Horse 2 oz Silver Coin, Queen Elizabeth II graces the 2002 Australian Silver Lunar Horse Coin. Adorned in the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland diamond tiara, this right-profile relief was uniquely crafted by Ian Rank-Broadley. Inscriptions read ELIZABETH II, AUSTRALIA, 2 DOLLARS, and IRB.
Reverse
The reverse field of the 2002 Australian Lunar Horse Silver Coin displays a majestic horse galloping in left-profile relief, alongside the traditional Chinese character for horse. Inscriptions include 2002, and 2 OZ 999 SILVER.
History
Embrace the Lunar Series journey, beginning in 1996 with the Year of the Mouse for gold coins and expanding to silver in 1999 with the Year of the Rabbit. The Perth Mint later introduced the Lunar Series II in 2008, marking the return of the Year of the Mouse. In 2020, Lunar Series III commenced its minting.
