China's Lunar Series gold issues at this weight class are produced in tiny quantities — typically fewer than 30 pieces per issue — making them effectively trophy objects rather than circulating or even commonly traded instruments. The 2014 horse year falls within the second full cycle of China's modern lunar gold program, which the People's Bank launched in 1981 and which has run without interruption since, though kilogram-and-above denominations were introduced considerably later in the series.
At two kilograms of .999 fine gold, fewer examples of this piece exist than most classical rarities that routinely command auction records.
