In conjunction with the 2014 Lunar Horse year, the Monetary Authority of Macau issues the Macau Horse coin which is the seventh in the Macau Lunar coin collection (2008- 2019), exclusively minted and marketed by The Singapore Mint. The magnificent horse is illustrated in an awe-inspiring pose on the obverse side of the coin: rearing on its hind legs, seemingly at the brink of take-off. This burst of vigor and forward-looking spirit hints at the beginning of many good things to come, in your career or life. The horse is accompanied by a cascade of alluring camellia flowers in full bloom. They come in many vibrant colours and just like the horses unyielding resilience, these flowers flourish even in cold weathers; upholding brilliance no matter the circumstance. The coins reverse side embodies the carvings of the Guia Fortress in commemoration of Macaus maritime, military and missionary past. The fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is also a popular tourist attraction of Macau.
