| Additional information |
The "Year of the Horse" dollar was part of the Perth Mint's long-running Lunar Series II program, which launched in 2008 and runs through 2019 to cover a full twelve-year zodiac cycle. The circulating commemorative was released alongside a much larger collector coin program, with the base-metal dollar intended for general circulation through Australian banks and retail.
2014 marked the first Horse year since the Bali bombings anniversary coins and a period of renewed Australian-Chinese trade diplomacy — the lunar series by this point had become a deliberate soft-trade instrument targeting Chinese-Australian communities and Asian export markets.
