Coin Information:

This coin was issued as part of The Royal Mint’s Lunar Year £5 series and celebrates the Lunar Year of the Horse. Those born in the Year of the Horse are known for their courage, optimism and quick wit. The Chinese Zodiac calendar can be tracked back as far as the 14th Century B.C and has fascinated the imaginations of millions of people since. As part of the eternal twelve-year cycle, an animal and its reputed attributes are assigned to each year. The reverse design of this coin features the powerful Horse set against the cobblestones of an early 18th century stable block and the Kangxi Radical for Horse, blending Chinese culture and British heritage.
