Description

People's Republic gold Proof Scalloped "Year of the Horse" 10000 Yuan (1 Kilo) 2014, Shenzhen mint, KM-Unl., CC-1950. 100mm. Mintage: 118. Lunar series. Struck in celebration of the Year of the Horse, this expansive 1-kilogram scalloped issue features a majestic rendition of a frosted galloping horse mid-stride in high relief, superimposed against an abstract bas relief composition depicting a second horse, causing the motifs to seemingly leap towards the viewer. Gem Proof and relaying exceedingly deep mirrors further elevating the prominent cameo appearances laid upon the surfaces to engender a stark impression of pristine originality. Sold in the original mint capsule and numbered "051" at the bottom edge, this modern gold issue is accompanied by its original and identically numbered mint COA and case of issue, and an offering that doubtlessly will be met with strong bidder enthusiasm. AGW 32.15 oz.
