The Chinese Lunar Calendar is traditionally believed to influence human personality based on the ruling animal of oneâ€TMs birth year. These animals make fanciful designs that capture the imagination, and therefore, these coins are often purchased as special birthday gifts or converted into fine jewelry. The Horse is one of the 12-year cycle of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac related to the Chinese calendar. There is a long tradition of the horse in Chinese mythology. Certain characteristics of a "horse" nature are supposed to be typical of or to be associated with either a year of the horse and its events, or in regard to the personality of someone born in such a year. The horse is symbolic of energetic and financial volatility and impulsiveness, including taking on various new projects with variable success, and borrowing and spending money. The year of the horse is said to be the year for divorce and/or marriage.
