Reverse description Central circular field contains a second intricate silver filigree insert set against a black background, again depicting a stylized horse in elaborate swirling wirework. The arc legend 'THE YEAR OF THE HORSE' is inscribed around the upper portion of the rim. The lower border of the coin features six finely engraved vignettes of horses in various poses — including standing, rearing, and in motion — arranged symmetrically around the lower periphery of the field. The overall composition celebrates the Chinese Lunar New Year of the Horse through a harmonious combination of filigree craftsmanship and classical equine portraiture.

Additional information

Fiji's lunar series issues of this period were struck by the New Zealand Mint under contract, which handled production for a number of Pacific island nations lacking domestic minting infrastructure. The 2014 Horse issue falls within a broader collector-market strategy that saw Fiji licensing its sovereign authority for commemorative programs with no circulation intent whatsoever.

KM# 204 is a low-mintage bullion-adjacent piece aimed squarely at the Asian export collector market.
