Why Add This PF70 UC Early Releases 2014-P Tuvalu Year of the Horse 1 oz Wisdom Lunar Colorized Silver Proof with a Horse Label to Your Collection?
Some may find it surprising, but there are actually several small island nations in the Pacific that are known for their collectible coins. One of them is Tuvalu. This Lunar silver proof was issued by Tuvalu in 2014, the Year of the Horse. However, this piece was actually struck in Australia by the world-famous Perth Mint. Like many other coins that Tuvalu issues for collectors, mintage of this one was limited.
- Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) certified this coin and gave it a label with a matching theme.
- This 1 oz silver Lunar coin has a colorized proof finish.
- Few of these coins were minted, only 1,500 were released.
Intricate Year of the Horse Design
Obverse: The majority of the inscriptions are on this side of the coin, including the date and face value. The work of Ian Rank-Broadley is displayed here, this portrait of Queen Elizabeth II is quite detailed.
Reverse: This Year of the Horse design has a lot of elements worked into it. The word “WISDOM” is at the top of the design and a horseshoe forms a border around most of the scene. An ink stone and brushes are depicted along with a majestic horse mid-gallop. Much of the design has been colorized, which tops off this work of art.
