🐴 Lunar Story

According to Chinese legend, the emperor held a great race to decide the order of the zodiac animals. The strong and free-spirited Horse surged toward the finish, only to be startled by the cunning Snake hiding beneath its hoof — causing the Horse to finish seventh.

People born in the Year of the Horse (2026, 2014, 2002, 1990, 1978, and every twelfth year prior) are believed to be charismatic, intelligent, energetic, and naturally inspiring to others. This coin is a tribute to their spirited and ambitious nature.

🎨 Design Description

Also included:
• Chinese character for “Horse”
• Inscription “HORSE 2026”
• Perth Mint “P” mintmark

The obverse showcases the Memorial effigy of Queen Elizabeth II.
