TRULY RARE! Mintage just 888!

Celebrate the dynamic & intrepid Year of the Horse with this gorgeous 5 troy ounce pure silver black proof, gilded with 24-karat gold plating and numbered on the edge with its unique serial number! Mintage just 888!

This magnificent work of art depicts a trio of stallions cavorting and rearing up on their hind legs amidst a whirlwind of clouds, symbolizing good fortune, prosperity and immortality. These charismatic horses are garnished with peony blossoms. These "king of flowers" represent wealth, honor and rank. The Chinese character for "Horse" has been gilded and engraved within a circular cartouche on the center stile, but there are no legends on the obverse, to further enhance this dramatic scene.

The Horse personality embodies life, liberty and (the pursuit of) happiness! He or she is amazingly agile, both physically and mentally—a true master problem-solver. After everyone else has given up, the Horse will saunter in with an ingenious and practical solution (and often gallop ahead before the rest of the group can catch up!). A Horse can be impatient, but is also forgiving and kind. His or her sunny disposition is irresistible. Give a Horse plenty of space to frolic, and you'll have an intrepid and energetic friend!

Struck from one full troy ounce of pure silver, each frosted cameo proof finish Horse coin resides within its handsome presentation case, protected by a full color outer box. An individually numbered certificate of authenticity is included. Best of all is the mintage—lucky number 888, tremendously low for such a desirable and affordable beauty. With its extremely limited mintage, make this auspicious Horse yours today!

The Year of the Horse—Energetic & Intrepid!
Centuries ago, the Chinese invented a calendar based on the lunar (rather than the solar) cycle. There are twelve animals in the Chinese lunar zodiac, each corresponding in sequence to a year rather than a month.

In 2026 we celebrate the Year of the Horse. According to tradition, people born during a Year of the Horse (1906, 1918, 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014 and 2026) are said to exhibit that animal’s attributes. Horse people are active and energetic. They have plenty of charisma and know appeal to others (especially those of the opposite sex). Horses are joiners who love to be part of the group, which is why they can usually be found at such occasions like concerts, the theater, meetings, sporting events, and of course, parties.

People born during the Year of the Horse have a pleasant, amiable, easy going disposition which guarantees popularity and a large following of friends. Blessed with good humor and geniality, they are extremely easy to get along with, for they have the knack of instantly putting people at ease.

The Horse is very quick-witted and insightful. S/he is right in there with you before you have even had the chance to finish what you are saying: s/he's on the thought in your mind even before you've expressed it! The Horse can be hot-blooded, hot-headed and impatient. The Horse is a worker, adept at handling money and a good financier. But unfortunately, s/he is also famous for suddenly losing interest in a project.

Those born a Horse have many contradictions in character. Horses are proud yet sweet-natured, arrogant yet oddly modest in their approach to love, envious but tolerant, conceited yet humble. They want to belong, yet they are burdened by their need for independence. They need love and crave intimacy yet often feel cornered or pressured. But the truth is, the Horse is an individual who depends on its wits and his labor to get what it wants!

If you weren't born during a year of the horse, never fear! No, literally, never fear—make like a horse and be intrepid! This year is a perfect opportunity to strike out on your own and do something you've always wanted to, but haven't gotten around to yet!

Niue
Niue is a small island nation in the South Pacific. Although it is completely self-governing and independent, it remains in free association with New Zealand, a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations, hence the portrait of the British monarch on most of its coinage. The country is located about 1,450 miles northeast of New Zealand. It is closest to Samoa, Tonga, and the Cook Islands. It is one of the largest coral islands in the world, with a total area of 260 square kilometers. Niueans are predominantly Polynesian; most are bilingual, speaking both Niuean and English.
