The Spirit of the Horse

In Chinese culture, the horse represents energy, freedom, and determination. Legend tells how the Jade Emperor called all animals to a great race to decide their place in the zodiac. The horse galloped fiercely but leapt back when a snake startled it at the finish line. Even so, its resilience secured seventh place in the calendar.

Those born under the Year of the Horse—2026, 2014, 2002, 1990, and earlier cycles—are said to be adventurous and independent. They thrive on excitement, enjoy freedom, and inspire others with their natural charisma.

A Majestic Design

The reverse, created by Ing Ing Jong, shows a mare and foal galloping across open grasslands with mountains in the distance. Their flowing manes emphasize movement and vitality. The design also includes the Chinese character for Horse, the inscription HORSE 2026, and The Perth Mint’s P mintmark.

The obverse features Dan Thorne’s effigy of His Majesty King Charles III. It also shows the coin’s weight, fineness, denomination, and year of issue. With a 40.9 mm diameter and a 3.5 mm thickness, the coin displays every detail in sharp proof quality.

A Lunar Collectible to Treasure

Each coin comes in a classic display case with themed packaging and a numbered certificate of authenticity. For this reason, it makes both a meaningful gift and a valuable piece for any Lunar Series collection. In addition, the antiquity of the tradition combined with Perth Mint’s modern craftsmanship ensures its lasting appeal.
