I don't believe this. Why would they chane the series half way through and start with square coins? The lunar horse is going to be round. And will depict 2 horses.
Mate, the above posters are just taking the piss! Have a look at the Perth Mint Currency Determination 2013 number one. 2014 Silver Year of the Horse - Bullion Coins The design on the 2014 Silver Year of the Horse (10kg, 1kg, 10oz, 5oz, 2oz, 1oz, 1/2oz) bullion coins, consists of a pattern of lines forming a circle immediately inside the rim, surrounding a representation of two horses, in a stylised landscape with leafy trees, hilly terrain and a river. The coins include the following inscriptions 'Year of the Horse', the Pinyin pictograph pronounced 'm' and meaning 'horse' and the initials of the designer Tom Vaughan 'TV' And 2014 Silver Year of the Horse - Bullion Coloured Coins The design on the 2014 Silver Year of the Horse (1kg, 10oz, 5oz, 2oz, 1oz, 1/2oz) bullion coloured coins, consists of a pattern of lines forming a circle immediately inside the rim, surrounding a representation of two coloured horses in a stylised landscape with leafy trees, hilly terrain and a river. The coins include the following inscriptions 'Year of the Horse', the Pinyin pictograph pronounced 'm' and meaning 'horse' and the initials of the designer Tom Vaughan 'TV'. http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2013L00065/Explanatory Statement/Text The members above are referring to the 2014 Silver Year of the Horse - Square Bullion Coin which can be seen in the Perth Mint Currency Determination 2013 number two. http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2013L00661/Explanatory Statement/Text Hope this helps.

Ive heard there's been a mass production order for square Stock Horse coins due to the stunning popularity of the round one. It will be the first in a New Series apparently. Has to be worth a motza. Back up the Horsefloat!!!
Me horse float is broke , as the nag fell over & broke it's leg So I turned the nag into a snag , with a bit of deadhorse on top
But doesn't actually confirm the shape of the coin. I started a new thread to see if any of the dealers or anyone with credible information direct from Perth Mint knows for sure the shape of this coin.
If you read the Currency Determination you just might understand. Also...review Perth's Precious Metal Programme. H
"Subsection 13A(1) of the Currency Act 1965 requires that the determination provide details of coin characteristics including standard composition, standard weight, allowable variation from standard weight, design and dimensions " But it doesn't specify the dimensions of the coin. Anyway, it doesn't matter as goldpelican confirmed that the coin is round.
The Perth Mint Determinations provide the dimensions for Square coins and Circular coins. Perhaps you don't understand how to read dimensions. Click on the Text tab on the Determination. http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2013L00065 Re-read the Dimensions! Maximum diameter or other dimension (mm) Maximum thickness (mm) Now go to the Determination for the Square Bullion Coins. http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2013L00661 Click on the tab for Text Now read the dimensions for the square coins.

Apologies Holdfast, I didn't realise this information was located within another tab. Was my first time using that site. Thanks for pointing me in the correct dimension.
Btw Sidetrack the topic a bit Chinese horoscope says that people who were born in snake year will gain massively in this horse year. Lets be optimistics
