The Mint says about this coin:
Since ancient times a horseshoe has been seen as a protective symbol. Nailed to a door, it was believed to keep evil forces away and bring good luck to the home it protected. A horseshoe with its ends pointing downwards is a powerful protective symbol warding off misfortunes and negative energy. Contrarily, when the ends of a horseshoe point upwards, it acts like a little storage container for any good luck that is floating by. Its magical properties are reinforced by the number seven, which, according to popular folklore, has the luck-attracting powers, too. GREAT GIFT IDEA… ALSO IN BUSINESS!
