The 2014 1oz Gold Lunar Year of the Horse is a landmark British gold bullion coin — the first release in The Royal Mint's Shēngxiào Collection, celebrating the traditional Chinese lunar calendar. Struck in 999.9 fine 24 carat gold and containing one full troy ounce of pure gold, it features an original reverse design by British-Chinese artist Wuon-Gean Ho, incorporating a galloping horse with a background inspired by the Uffington White Horse of Oxfordshire. As UK legal tender, it is CGT-free for UK residents and VAT-free as qualifying investment gold. Its status as the inaugural Shēngxiào release gives it added numismatic significance for collectors of the complete series. Read: Best Gold Coins for UK Investors and CGT-Free Gold Coins in the UK.
The Shēngxiào Collection celebrates the twelve animals of the traditional Chinese zodiac through a series of British legal tender bullion coins. The 2014 Year of the Horse was the inaugural release, making it the starting point for collectors building a complete Royal Mint lunar set. The Horse is associated with energy, independence, and optimism — qualities reflected in Wuon-Gean Ho's dynamic design.
