The belief in horseshoes as symbols of good luck dates back to the Middle Ages. Iron was thought to ward off evil, and the crescent shape resembled protective symbols from ancient cultures. Blacksmiths, who worked with fire and iron, were sometimes seen as having mystical abilities, further reinforcing the horseshoe’s reputation as a charm of protection and fortune. Now, you can own a piece of this tradition with the 1/4 Gram Monarch Horseshoe Gold Round, available at BullionMax.

Each 1/4 Gram Monarch Horseshoe Gold Round comes secured in a plastic capsule. Monarch Precious Metals produces these rounds using hand-rolled gold sheets. The blanks are carefully cut by hand, and each design is hand-stamped on both the obverse and reverse.

Horseshoes have been used as symbols of luck in various cultures. Some traditions suggest the ends should point upward to “collect” good fortune, while others believe they should face downward to “shower” luck upon those nearby. Over time, the horseshoe has appeared in wedding customs, architecture, and even national symbols.

The obverse of the Monarch Horseshoe Gold Round features the Monarch Precious Metals logo along with key hallmarks. The design centers around the Monarch crown, formed by the MPM initials, with the mint’s name stamped around the outer edge.

On the reverse of the 1/4 Gram Monarch Horseshoe Gold Round, you’ll find an engraved lucky horseshoe. Some traditions say finding a lost horseshoe is especially lucky, as it carries the good fortune of its previous owner. This side of the round also includes inscriptions of the weight, metal content, and purity.
