The reverse design changes each year based on the Chinese lunar calendar, and the 2014 reverse celebrates the Year of the Horse. Those born under the sign of the Chinese lunar horse in 2026, 2004, 1992, 1980 and every 12th preceding year are said to be high-spirited, energetic and quick to support their friends with a compliment. Horses are seen as some of the most energetic in Chinese culture. The Perth Mint Lunar SeriesKnown for their quality and collectibility, the Perth Mint Lunar series is a cornerstone of many Precious Metals portfolios, and is produced in Silver, Gold and Platinum. The original lunar bullion series, these coins (beginning with the Series I launch in 1996) have become some of the most widely collected around the globe, as demand originated in Asia but spread to Europe and America as investors became exposed to the design and quality. In addition to the annual design change, many investors love that the coins' select mintage limits create the potential for even greater investment return in the form of a numismatic premium appreciation. This series is so popular, the 1 oz Gold and Silver Lunars are now instant sell-outs every year.The Perth Lunar Series 1 concluded in 2010, and Series II concluded in 2019. These releases have been tremendously popular worldwide, with each year selling out quickly as investors and collectors claim the coins of all sizes. As each 1 oz Silver bullion coin in Series III has been limited to 300,000 coins worldwide, the prolonged popularity is ensured by the high level of collectibility as well as the stellar designs from the reputable Perth Mint.
