Notes:

This release represents the first half ounce proof coin to be issued in the Australian Lunar series and is available only as part of a 'Spirit' limited edition framed art piece. A total of 100 art pieces were commissioned by the Perth Mint to celebrate the year of the horse.

The original Chinese water-ink brush painting on rice paper was created by award-winning artist Deng Guo-Qi (Danny Deng). Born in China, Deng specialises in the traditional art of Chinese painting in water and oil. Each of the 100 paintings is an original and features an individual serial number, the artists's name and stamp, and a horse-related Chinese proverb.

Including frame, the piece measures 915mm x 740mm.
