🎨 Design & Symbolism
The reverse portrays a powerful gold-plated horse bursting from a bank of stylised clouds, a dynamic symbol of freedom and forward momentum.
To its sides, delicate jasmine blossoms represent purity, beauty, and the promise of new beginnings.
Beneath the composition is the Chinese character for “horse” (mǎ) — uniquely struck into the surface instead of raised in relief, giving the coin a modern textural twist.
The interplay of black, silver, and gold creates a dramatic visual experience, making this coin one of the most vibrant and visually gripping Lunar New Year issues released for 2026.
The obverse features the Jody Clark effigy of King Charles III, confirming the piece as official Niue legal tender.
