📖 The Year of the Horse

According to Chinese tradition, the Jade Emperor held a great race to determine the order of the zodiac animals. The spirited Horse raced strongly but was startled by the cunning Snake near the finish line, ultimately securing seventh place.

Those born in Horse years—including 2026, 2014, 2002, and 1990—are believed to be independent, charismatic, and adventurous, embodying energy and determination.

🎨 Design Description

Struck in high relief, the reverse portrays a majestic mare alongside her foal, both captured in a graceful galloping stance. The scene is set against a backdrop of towering mountains and open grasslands, symbolising freedom and natural beauty.

The design includes:

• The Chinese character for ‘Horse’
• The inscription “HORSE 2026”
• The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark

The coin is minted on concave surfaces, allowing enhanced metal flow during striking, resulting in exceptional sculptural detail.

The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, along with the coin’s weight, purity, and denomination, confirming its legal tender status.
