📜 Lunar Story
In traditional Chinese lore, the Jade Emperor announced a great race to determine the order of the 12 zodiac signs.
The free-spirited Horse, determined to claim victory, galloped toward the finish line—but in a surprising twist, the Snake emerged from beneath its hoof, startling the Horse and delaying its finish.
Despite this setback, the Horse proudly secured the seventh position in the lunar cycle.
People born in the Year of the Horse—2026, 2014, 2002, 1990, and every 12th year before—are said to be:
• Independent
• Charismatic
• Adventurous
• Spirited and passionate
• Naturally inspiring leaders
🎨 Year of the Horse Design
The coloured reverse showcases a beautifully illustrated mare and foal, both captured mid-gallop with flowing manes and lifelike motion.
The scene is set against sweeping mountain ranges and serene grassland landscapes, emphasising freedom and harmony.
Design elements include:
• Chinese character for “Horse”
• Inscription “HORSE 2026”
• Perth Mint “P” mintmark
• Elegant full-colour artistry
