Chinese tradition
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.
Those born under the sign of the Chinese Lunar Horse in 2026, 2014, 2002, 1990 and every 12th preceding year are said to be independent and charismatic with a a sense of adventure. Being passionate and spirited, they are gifted with natural charm and an ability to inspire others.
Year of the Horse design
The coin’s coloured reverse portrays a representation of a majestic mare alongside her young foal, both depicted with elegant manes in a striking galloping stance. The coloured background includes a striking sunset with towering mountains and the lush serenity of grasslands. Also included in the design is the Chinese character for ‘Horse’, the inscription ‘HORSE 2026’, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
Coin show packaging
The coin is housed in an illustrated presentation card featuring sepia-toned artwork from the coin's reverse design. Included on the card is the title ‘MELBOURNE MONEY EXPO ANDA SPECIAL 7-8 FEBRUARY 2026’ and the Australasian Numismatic Dealer’s Association’s logo.
