Created for collectors and anyone born in the Year of the Horse, this rare 2026 rectangular coin is inspired by the ancient lunar calendar and showcases the majestic horse in dramatic colour.
According to Chinese tradition, the emperor ordered a great race between all the animals on Earth to determine who should occupy 12 positions in the lunar calendar. In pursuit of the fifth placed dragon, the free-spirited horse galloped towards the finish line with determination. In a sudden twist, the horse was cheated by the snake which was wrapped around its hoof, causing it to lurch back in fright. Despite the setback, the resilient horse claimed seventh place.
The coin’s coloured reverse portrays a magnificent horse with elevated hooves displaying strength and poise. Mountainous landscapes and grassland are Illustrated in the background. Included in the design is the inscription 'YEAR OF THE HORSE’ and ‘2026’ along with The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
The coin is housed in an illustrated collector card with a fold-out leg for upright display.
