    The Cook Islands one wins hands down for me

    And close second is a 1/2oz from the NZ Mint

    Gilded Niue Island one is quite nice too.

    The rest are all a little too camp for my liking, especially the English version.

    Nice coins above but we still have half a year to go in 2014 and so there's likely still a couple of Lunar Horse coins that will be released. Just because some mints are in the terrible habit of releasing coins in the year prior to the date of the coin doesn't mean we should just cave in like sheeple.

    I'm reserving judgement till the last horsey comes out of the stables. :)

    Have to agree what whopping 10k is very impressive.

    PM Lunar II Horse, by far the best looking horse.

    This image (composed from from a single low quality video frame) depicts what I believe to be the best 2014 horse coin on earth. I do not own this coin but would love to. It's a Proof 1 Kilo Silver Lunar Horse from where else except the Perth Mint. The video from where this coin image was taken is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zKDchf455U

    Can anyone deny that it is a spectacular looking .999 pure silver coin?

    At less than $1 USD per coin, I think this qualifies as aeshthetic. :) "Most" aesthetic depends on whether copper joins silver and gold in the future as a worthwhile "physical" holding.
