2002 1/2 oz Australia Silver Lunar Horse BU - Series I

The 2002 1/2 oz Silver Lunar Horse is part of the Perth Mint's original Lunar Series I, celebrating the Year of the Horse in stunning .999 fine silver. Revered in Chinese tradition for its strength, nobility, and independence, the horse is beautifully rendered on this collectible coin.

Design Insight:

The 2002 Lunar Horse design captures the raw motion and elegance of the horse, framed by the Chinese character for "horse" and the year of issue. This compact 1/2 oz size makes it accessible for collectors while still delivering exquisite artistry.
