2014 Year of the Horse – Fan-Shaped Horse 1/2oz Silver Gilded Proof Cook Islands Coin Celebrate the Year of the Horse with this Fan-Shaped Horse 1/2oz Silver Gilded Proof Cook Islands Coin. This gorgeous coin will delight coin collectors everywhere with its proof quality, exquisite artistry, craftsmanship and fan shape. Enjoy the gilded horse as she gallops across a grassy meadow. You’ll see the detail in the horse’s sculpted muscles, flowing mane and tail as she races past a single tree and thunders across the mirrored field on the coin’s obverse side. The obverse side bears a cameo of Queen Elizabeth II and the legends, “Cook Islands,” “One Dollar,” the coin’s weight and purity. This coin is legal tender in the Cooks Islands. The Year of the Horse celebrates one of twelve Chinese lunar astrological signs. The horse in particular is an animal known for achieving greatness. It is the horse’s inner and physical strength and ability to endure solitary hard work that makes it possible to accomplish even the highest of goals. These characteristics, hard work and independence, are represented by the horse’s rippling muscles and the single tree in the background of the coin’s relief image. The horse is a gregarious animal, too, and has plenty of friends – as many as the blades of grass in the meadow. Those born in the Year of the Horse may find themselves naturally lucky with money; there’s no better way to celebrate this luck than with a lucky silver coin. Honour the equestrian in your life with this memento or expand your own coin collection with the Year of the Horse Fan Coin.
