A Masterpiece of Minting Art – The Fascinating Design

The colourised reverse of this Silver Lunar coin transports you into a world full of grace and power. An elegant mare gallops alongside her young foal through an idyllic grassland. Their flowing manes seem to dance in the wind. The background? Simply spectacular! A dramatic sunset in warm shades of orange and violet, towering mountains and lush green meadows merge into a total work of art.

The Chinese character for "horse" (馬) presides over the scene, complemented by the inscription "HORSE 2026" and the distinctive "P" mintmark of the Perth Mint. The obverse features the portrait of King Charles III designed by Dan Thorne – a worthy frame for this numismatic jewel.

The Legend of the Horse in the Chinese Zodiac

According to ancient Chinese tradition, the Emperor once decreed a great race to determine the twelve positions in the lunar calendar. The freedom-loving horse galloped resolutely towards the finish line – but the cunning snake, which had coiled itself around its hoof, startled it at the decisive moment. Despite this setback, the resilient animal claimed seventh place.

People born in the Year of the Horse (2026, 2014, 2002, 1990 and every twelfth preceding year) are considered independent, charismatic and adventurous. They possess a natural charm and the ability to inspire others. This coin is therefore also a wonderful gift for all those "born in the Year of the Horse"!
