The Perth Mint is proud to present these magnificent silver

bullion coins to celebrate the Year of the Horse, the seventh

of twelve animals associated with the Chinese lunar

calendar.

According to Chinese tradition, the emperor held a great

race to determine who should occupy 12 positions in the

lunar calendar. The free-spirited horse raced behind the

dragon but was startled when a snake coiled around its

hoof, causing a delay. Despite the setback, the resilient

horse claimed seventh place with unyielding spirit.

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, charismatic and love a sense of

adventure. Being passionate and spirited, they are gifted

with natural charm and an ability to inspire others.

The reverse of each coin portrays a representation of a majestic mare alongside her young foal, both depicted with

elegant manes in a striking galloping stance. The background includes 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. The obverse of each coin bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, as well as the weight,
