| Reverse description | A galloping horse leaping dynamically to the left, rendered in a refined artistic style evoking classical Chinese equestrian imagery. Wind-swept cloud formations fill the upper field, conveying speed and vitality. The denomination 10元 appears to the upper right in the field, while the two-character inscription 甲午 (denoting the Jiawu cyclical year corresponding to the Year of the Horse) is inscribed in the lower left field. The composition combines traditional Chinese artistic sensibility with modern coin-engraving technique. |

| Additional information |
China's lunar silver series shifted to a new rectangular planchet format for certain denominations beginning in the 2000s, but the 30g round issues continued in parallel, creating a crowded annual release schedule that has drawn repeated criticism from collectors for diluting demand across too many simultaneous formats. The 2014 Horse issue was produced at mints in Shenzhen and Shenyang, with subtle mint mark differences that create minor but trackable variety distinctions within the series.
