China 10 yuan Lunar Calendar Horse Year Flower Shape PR69 PCGS silver coin 2014

The China 10 Yuan silver coin issued in 2014 is dedicated to the Year of the Horse from the Chinese Lunar Calendar and stands out thanks to its distinctive flower-shaped format. Struck in proof quality and certified PR69 DCAM by PCGS, this coin combines symbolic zodiac imagery with an innovative scalloped design, making it a memorable piece of modern Chinese numismatics.

The obverse features a powerful horse in full stride, captured mid-gallop with raised forelegs and flowing mane and tail. The animal’s muscular body conveys strength, speed, and vitality, while stylized lines in the background suggest wind, movement, and energy. The horse is set within the unique flower-shaped outline, enhancing its dynamic presence. The denomination “10 元” appears to the right, and Chinese characters identifying the Year of the Horse are engraved near the lower portion, all against smooth proof fields that emphasize contrast and relief.

The reverse displays the national emblem of the People’s Republic of China at the center, surrounded by an ornate wreath composed of grain ears, floral scrolls, fish motifs, and decorative elements that echo the scalloped edge of the coin. Fine details in the stars, architectural structure, and wreath are sharply rendered. Chinese inscriptions curve along the rim, with the year “2014” clearly visible at the bottom.

In Chinese culture, the Horse symbolizes strength, independence, perseverance, and success, making this coin a meaningful talisman of positive energy. Struck in silver with deep cameo contrast and an unusual flower shape, this issue is part of China’s popular Lunar Calendar series and appeals strongly to zodiac collectors and lovers of creative coin design.
