The year of the Horse, that is 2014, was also the time of interesting numismatic emissions. You will find best offers in our collectors’ online coin shop. Let’s take a closer look at the part of the collection that has gained popularity due to its momentum. Once a year, Cook Islands produce 25 coins that are amalgamation of gold and mother of pearl…
The lucky horse
The red mother of pearl was used to reproduce the noble, horse image in red, vivid hues. What a beautiful one! Seen with one’s own eyes, the coin makes even greater impression – whole 155 grams in your hand! 5 ounces in one pure gold coin, can you imagine? The price, which is going to rise systematically over the years, is motivated right by this fact. Such a coin is hard to get, because the input was limited to only 25 units.
What other features make an impression? Definitely the size: the 65-millimeter diameter allows you to examine closely this beatiful design and very low mintage 25pcs. Serrated rim and proof stamp make the whole thing very stylish. The shiny, original coin that was emitted on the Cook Islands is a unique, one of a kind tribute to Asian culture.
As usual in the Lunar collection, the main theme is Chinese horoscope. We could celebrate year of a horse for example in 2014, 2002, 1990, 1978, 1966, 1954, 1942, 1930, 1918… According to oriental symbolism, people born in year of a horse are popular, liked, manage their finances well, they are also able to plan many things. They may be impatient but they always spread an enchanting charm. The horse was one of the ancient Chinese divinities. It has always symbolized yang – the male element. Horses also appear in Buddhist tales and have such positive connotations as in European tradition. They are loyal and devoted animals after all!
