🐴 Lunar Story
The Chinese zodiac originates from the legend of the emperor’s great celestial race. The Horse charged forward with power and ambition, but was startled when the Snake slid from beneath its hoof — causing it to fall behind and finish seventh.
People born in the Year of the Horse (2026, 2014, 2002, 1990, 1978, and earlier cycles) are said to be energetic, intelligent, charismatic and naturally inspiring — blessed with passion and an adventurous spirit.
🎨 Year of the Horse Design
The reverse features a majestic mare and her foal, portrayed in an elegant, dynamic stance. Their flowing manes and face-to-face posture symbolise harmony, strength, and familial bond.
Design elements include:
• Chinese character for “Horse”
• Inscription “HORSE 2026”
• Perth Mint “P” mintmark
• Detailed mountains and soft grasslands in the background
The artistry perfectly reflects the calm yet powerful spirit of the Horse.
