| Additional information |
The twelve-animal cycle used for these annual silver issues follows the traditional lunisolar calendar, with the Horse occupying the seventh position. China's modern bullion and commemorative coin program, administered through the People's Bank, has issued lunar series pieces continuously since the late 1970s, making this among the longest-running annual precious metal programs of any central bank.
