According to Chinese tradition, the emperor held a race to determine who should occupy the 12 positions in the lunar calendar. Just as the horse neared the finish line, a snake startled it, but the resilient horse still secured 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, charismatic and love a sense of adventure. Being passionate and spirited, they are gifted with natural charm and an ability to inspire others.
Design
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. The delicately frosted design on the 1oz silver proof coin appears on an immaculately polished table. The 1oz silver coloured coin depicts the horses in colour, while the 1oz gilded coin highlights the horses in 24-carat gold. Also included in the design is the Chinese character for ‘Horse’, the inscription ‘HORSE 2026’, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
Presentation
The trio are presented in a case with a clear lid to show the various depictions of the mare and foal.
