Art work is clear & nice,although depiction of horse is a little clumsy. I like that no background interferes with attention to the horse. Simple design, easy to appreciate & collectible.
- Pros
- Value (low premium over spot)
- Mint Condition
- Cons
- Unattractive Design
- Bottom Line
- Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

The reverse is covered in milk spots. Some scuffs on the edge of the reverse as well. Disappointing. Expected better quality from APMEX.

My coin didn't have the dreaded milk spots, but it arrived scratched and scuffed. The scuffing is on both the field and the relief, so it's clearly not just from coins rubbing together in a tube. It looks like someone handled it very roughly and with bare hands. I bought this as a gift for my goddaughter. Unfortunately, it is most definitely not in giftable condition. Coincidentally, both the other brand new coins in this order were also damaged. I don't know what APMEX is playing at here, but this is not the first time I've received coins from them that were in questionable condition. It's just the first time I've been furious enough to return them.

Merchant response: Anon13: The fact that you had a scuffed/scratched coin come to you not just this time but before is unacceptable and not the norm. We are happy to replace/exchange the items if this ever does happen. We apologize if the package was hard to get into. Our priority is making sure that our product gets to our customer safely and securely and that it has a tamper evident feature to it. The sticky squares we use are in fact more expensive than tape, but they do add an extra layer of protection to the product as the white box you received doesn't go inside an outer shipping box. Thank you for your feedback and for choosing APMEX.

I bought 20 of the new Great Britain Lunar Horses assuming it would be a mint roll, upon reciept the coins were flipped over and two had milk spots indicating this roll was searched for high grade coins, I guess they do this will all their coins.

Merchant response: Silverboy: Thanks for your review! It is not our policy to go through the coins and pick out premium ones. We simply don't have time for that. The tube you received was most likely one that had been opened to get a few coins out to fill other orders and then re-filled for your order fulfillment. We'll work with our staff on choosing a full tube to fill orders moving forward. With that being said, we definitely want you to be satisfied. Customer Service will reach out to you in an effort to exchange your entire purchase or just the milk spotted coins if you choose. You're welcome to contact them directly anytime you have an issue or question at 800-375-9006. We appreciate you giving us an opportunity to learn from this and improve our customer service.

I purchased this coin because it was a new 2014 issue from the Royal Mint and it celebrated the Year of the Horse. The design is very beautiful and would have been better if there was some luster contrast. Nevertheless, it makes a good addition to any collection.

- Recognized Brand

Most people that haven't looked at why this is designed this way. In the background is the famous Uffington-White Horse which is significant. The figure presumably dates to "the later prehistory", i.e. the Iron Age (800 BC–AD 100) or the late Bronze Age (1000–700 BC). This view was generally held by scholars even before the 1990s, based on the similarity of the horse's design to comparable figures in Celtic art, and it was confirmed following a 1990 excavation led by Simon Palmer and David Miles of the Oxford Archaeological Unit, following which deposits of fine silt removed from the horse's 'beak' were scientifically dated to the late Bronze Age. Minted in 999.9 Fine Silver, it's was a definite buy for me. This is a first Lunar calendar mintage for the Royal Mint.
