The 2014 "Year of the Horse" dollar was part of the Royal Australian Mint's long-running Lunar Series, produced to mark the Chinese zodiac cycle and aimed squarely at the substantial Chinese-Australian community as well as the broader commemorative coin market. Australia's Lunar coinage program, running across multiple metals and denominations since the late 1990s, has become one of the mint's most commercially consistent franchises.
The Horse year fell on 31 January 2014 by the Chinese lunisolar calendar.
