I have 3 that aren't on hand for me to post. They are all Canadian. Two are 2014 Lunars and a 2015 $100 coin. I used to raise Arabian horses. So I've decided to start a horse sub themed collection. I hope members will post images of horse coins, with date and country. This will give me ideas for coins to collect!  |

This is a good start, I really like the 2012 dollar, nice horse head portrait. Many horse coins I've seen murder the fine details. The $100 Canadian horse coin is a very course image. are they circulating in the states.

I hear tell horse design coins are very popular. It'll be interesting to see how this thread plays out. I have a kilo horse I'll post when I get a second  |

The Nevada State Quarter has horses running in the open expanse which imho is one of the best of the original designs by far. The Wyoming quarter also has one, a bucking bronco with rider |

Don't forget the Kentucky quarter has a stable with a horse.

JD nice coins, I will need to look for those. I like your wifes horse, someone else that rides English. I switched from Western five yrs after dislocated my shoulder lifting the Western saddle, I was 15. Surgery was unsuccessful, so at 53 it still dislocates, but I can pop it back in. Here's a photo of my Arab girl back in the nineties.  I truly miss riding, this gal was great to ride bareback, with no bridle!! So I figure the next best thing is to get a herd of horse coins. I forgot about the Canadian $5 coin which is very nice, along with the sovereigns. Edited by pocket change 50
