According to Chinese tradition, the emperor ordered a great race between all the animals on Earth to determine who should occupy twelve positions in the lunar calendar. To complete the course, each animal had to cross a fast-flowing river. 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 startled 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, 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 coin’s reverse portrays a coloured 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 a 1-gram pure gold privy insert portraying the Chinese character for ‘Horse’, the inscription ‘HORSE 2026’, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.

Presentation

Accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity, the set is housed in a classic display case and lunar style illustrated shipper.
