The UK's official coin manufacturer The Royal Mint has launched its first ever legal tender lunar coin to woo wealthy Chinese collectors as coin collection becomes increasingly widespread in China.
The coin, put on the market last month, commemorates the forthcoming lunar year of the horse. It features a powerful horse on one side and the portrait of the British Queen on the other.
The Royal Mint says the horse coin will be the first of a series, which covers the Chinese zodiac and over 12 years will feature all the animals in the zodiac.
