A new coin.
The Congo 240 Francs Lunar Calendar Year of the Horse “Lucky” silver coin, issued in 2014, is a bright and auspicious collectible celebrating luck, joy, and positive energy. Dedicated to the Year of the Horse, this coin reflects one of the most optimistic signs of the Chinese zodiac. In Eastern tradition, the horse symbolizes good fortune, independence, vitality, and the ability to overcome obstacles, making this issue especially appealing for collectors drawn to symbolic and uplifting themes.
The reverse features a richly colored horse standing confidently in a lush natural setting. The animal is shown with expressive eyes, flowing mane, and a decorated saddle bearing a symbolic character associated with luck. The surrounding landscape includes green grass, flowers, trees, and a warm sky, creating a harmonious and cheerful scene. A decorative ball and ornamental elements enhance the lucky motif. Along the left side, a vertical panel lists previous Years of the Horse, while the current year 2014 is clearly emphasized. At the top, the Chinese character for “Horse” appears alongside the inscription “Year of the Horse,” and the word “LUCKY” is prominently placed at the bottom, reinforcing the theme. Selective color stands out beautifully against the mirrored silver fields.
The obverse displays the coat of arms of the Democratic Republic of Congo, featuring a central shield with a leopard head, flanked by emblematic elements symbolizing justice, work, and peace. Encircling legends and the denomination complete the official design.
Struck in fine silver with proof deep cameo quality, this coin is certified by PCGS and graded PR69 DCAM, reflecting exceptional eye appeal and near-perfect condition. A charming addition for collectors of lunar calendar coins, zodiac themes, and world silver issues.
