The 2014 Australia Gold Lunar Horse is a quarter-ounce bullion coin struck in .9999 fine gold and issued by The Perth Mint as part of the Australian Lunar Series II program. Denominated as legal tender under Australian law, it carries the standard design framework associated with the Lunar series, pairing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse with a Year of the Horse reverse design. The Perth Mint's "P" mintmark confirms its origin and adds to the coin's collectibility within the series.
We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, meaning it is struck to full mint quality with no signs of wear. For collectors and buyers who value both metal content and design presentation, this fractional format occupies a distinct position in the Lunar Series II lineup.

The Australian Lunar coin series has its roots in the late 1990s, when The Perth Mint introduced the original Lunar Series I to commemorate the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac. The program was met with broad international enthusiasm, particularly among collectors in Asia and among buyers drawn to annually changing designs paired with consistent gold quality. Series II launched in 2008 with a refined approach to the design and expanded range of sizes, running through 2019 to complete the second full zodiac cycle.
The Year of the Horse, celebrated in 2014, holds particular cultural significance in Chinese tradition, associated with energy, freedom, and determination. The Perth Mint has a long-standing reputation for producing some of the world's most technically precise and visually detailed bullion coins, and the Lunar series is widely regarded as one of its flagship annual programs. Each coin in the series is minted to strict specifications, and production figures are generally limited relative to more generic bullion formats, which has contributed to steady collector demand across the secondary market.
The reverse of the 2014 Lunar Horse features a dynamic portrayal of a horse in full motion, rendered with the level of sculptural detail for which The Perth Mint's engraving team is known. The design incorporates the Chinese character for "horse," the year 2014, the coin's weight and purity designation, and the Perth Mint's "P" mintmark. The composition balances figurative artistry with the technical precision expected of a legal tender gold coin.
The obverse carries the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, the standard portrait used across Australian coinage during this period. The portrait is surrounded by inscriptions confirming the coin's legal tender status and denomination. The Brilliant Uncirculated finish gives the surfaces a clean, bright appearance that preserves the crispness of both the raised relief and background fields.
At a quarter troy ounce, this coin represents a meaningful entry point for buyers who want direct exposure to .9999 fine gold from a respected sovereign mint without committing to a full ounce. The smaller format makes it practical for buyers managing a budget incrementally or those who want to diversify across multiple pieces at different weights rather than concentrating holdings in fewer larger coins.
Fractional gold coins like this also tend to carry slightly higher premiums per ounce compared to their full-ounce counterparts, a natural function of per-unit production costs spread across a smaller metal content. That tradeoff is worth understanding before purchasing, and our pricing reflects real-time spot conditions so buyers can evaluate the premium clearly before committing.
The Perth Mint operates under ISO 9001 quality certification and produces coins to some of the tightest tolerances in the global bullion industry. Each Lunar Series II coin is struck to exactly .9999 fine gold, with the weight and purity specifications inscribed directly on the coin itself. The mintmark, design detail, and edge characteristics all serve as built-in authentication features that allow experienced buyers and dealers to assess authenticity quickly.
We verify every product for authenticity, weight, and purity before it reaches a customer. Our authorized dealer relationships with both PCGS and NGC mean we can facilitate professional third-party grading for customers who want an additional layer of certification, which can be particularly valuable for Lunar series coins that carry collector premiums beyond their metal content alone.
Brilliant Uncirculated, commonly abbreviated BU, indicates the coin was struck for collector and investor use and has not been placed into circulation. BU coins retain full mint luster and sharp strike definition across all design elements. This condition standard is consistent with how The Perth Mint packages and distributes its Lunar series coins through official channels.
Individual coins ship in a protective plastic flip to preserve surface quality during transit. Standard tubes for the 2014 Gold Lunar Horse quarter-ounce contain 25 coins, and full box quantities are typically packaged in sealed mint boxes of 100 coins. Buyers purchasing a single coin or a small quantity will receive their order in a flip; orders at tube or box quantities will be packaged accordingly to maintain the integrity of the original packaging where available.
Like all gold bullion coins, the base price of the 2014 Lunar Horse quarter-ounce moves in direct response to the spot price of gold. The premium above spot reflects a combination of factors: the production costs associated with The Perth Mint's detailed coin program, the legal tender status of the coin, the collector demand tied to the Lunar series specifically, and the relative scarcity of fractional sizes compared to full-ounce formats.
Year of the Horse coins from Series II have historically maintained collector interest beyond the initial release year, which can support premiums above what a comparable generic fractional gold coin might command. Our pricing is updated in real time to reflect current market conditions, so the premium displayed on our product page represents the most accurate available figure at the time of purchase.
The Australian Lunar series enjoys strong international recognition, particularly in markets where zodiac-themed coins carry cultural and collector significance. The Perth Mint's global reputation and the coin's .9999 fine gold content make it broadly recognizable to dealers and collectors worldwide. The standardized weight and purity inscribed on the coin itself contribute to straightforward verification during any resale transaction.
We operate a two-way market, meaning customers can buy and sell within the same platform using competitive buyback pricing. Understanding the expected resale value before making a purchase is part of how we think a transparent precious metals marketplace should function. The bid/ask spread displayed on our product page reflects current market conditions and gives buyers a practical picture of the full cost of ownership from the outset.
The 2014 Lunar Horse quarter-ounce occupies an appealing intersection of government-backed bullion and collectible coin. It carries the full authority of Australian legal tender status, is produced by one of the most respected mints in the world, and belongs to a series with a documented collector base that spans decades and multiple continents. The annual design change within the Lunar program makes specific years meaningful to collectors in a way that generic bullion formats are not.
The quarter-ounce size adds a practical dimension. It offers a lower per-unit cost than full-ounce coins while still delivering the same .9999 fine gold purity and the same Perth Mint craftsmanship. For buyers looking to hold a varied collection across different Lunar years or zodiac animals, fractional sizes like this one make it possible to build a more complete set without concentrating capital in fewer pieces.
We have built our reputation on transparency, pricing integrity, and consistent follow-through. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau, membership in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association, and authorized dealer status with both PCGS and NGC reflect the standards we hold ourselves to across every transaction. We source products from reputable mints, refineries, wholesalers, and distributors, and every item is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity before it reaches a customer.
Our two-way market model means we place equal weight on the buying and selling sides of every transaction. Liquidity is not an afterthought here; it is part of the product experience from the moment you review the pricing page. We believe customers are better served when they understand both what they are paying and what they can reasonably expect when they are ready to sell. That philosophy drives everything from how we display pricing to how we structure our buyback program.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing on products like the 2014 Lunar Horse quarter-ounce, allowing buyers to transact at real wholesale market prices rather than fixed retail structures. Because premiums and bid/ask spreads fluctuate based on actual supply and demand, Pro members can see how market conditions are moving in real time and make purchase or sale decisions based on current wholesale pricing rather than static retail markups.
Pro also includes proprietary market intelligence tools, historical premium analysis, and real-time portfolio valuation using live wholesale bid prices. For collectors and buyers who hold multiple Lunar series coins or a broader gold portfolio, the ability to view holdings at current wholesale liquidation values provides a more accurate picture of actual market exposure than estimated retail values typically offer.
We support a wide range of payment methods to make the purchasing process straightforward and secure. Buyers can complete transactions using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover credit cards, as well as PayPal for added convenience. For those who prefer direct bank connectivity, we accept payments through Plaid, and wire transfers are available for larger purchases where bank-to-bank transactions are preferred.
We also accept paper checks and cryptocurrency payments through BitPay for buyers who want additional flexibility. Every payment method is handled through secure processing infrastructure, and the full range of options reflects our commitment to removing unnecessary friction from the buying experience regardless of how a customer prefers to transact.
