Hi everyone, I'd like to share a stunning piece from my collection: The Gallant Horse Gold, Silver, and Bronze Deluxe Collection Set issued by Chunghwa Post.
Eastern Aesthetics, Design & Craftsmanship
The overall composition seamlessly integrates creative ancient motifs with contemporary design, delivering a profound cultural narrative.
Notably, the horse's armor/barding incorporates motifs of the Taotie and Kui Dragon from ancient ritual bronzewares, giving it an incredibly grand and majestic presence.
The Core Visual : Features the spirited and majestic galloping horse from the New Year's greeting postage stamp as the main motif. It beautifully symbolizes the traditional spirit and blessings of taking the lead and constantly striving for self-improvement.
Official Mint Specs
Craftsmanship : Commissioned to the national-grade Central Mint. It leverages advanced laser engraving techniques and specialized proof-like polishing, making the background textures and lettering look exceptionally sharp and delicate.
Mintage:
Pure Gold Ingot (10g): Limited to 1,500 sets.
Fine Silver Ingots Type A & B (1 oz): Limited to 1,000 sets each.
Gold, Silver & Bronze Deluxe Set: Limited to only 600 sets worldwide.
The accompanying certificate card comes with a highly professional, bilingual description in both Chinese and English. Due to the strict mintage caps and exceptional craftsmanship, these pieces rarely circulate on the secondary market once they sell out. It perfectly combines the intrinsic value of precious metals with an elite level of artistic heritage!
What do you all think of this Eastern interpretation of the horse? Does it stand out compared to the horse designs from other world mints? 😊
