The Horse is the seventh animal in the twelve-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac, coming after the Snake and before the Goat (or Sheep). This places the Horse near the middle of the cycle, repeating every twelve years. Tower Mint continues its Lunar Series for the Pitcairn Islands with the 2026 Year of the Horse release.

On the obverse of 2026 1/2 Gram Gold Lunar Year of the Horse Coins, you’ll see a bust of King Charles III. This is the first-generation portrait of His Majesty used on Commonwealth coinage. Designed by Glyn Davies, the effigy shows Charles III in left-profile relief without a crown.

In Chinese astrology, the Year of the Horse is linked with energy, enthusiasm, and forward movement, and is thought to be a time of change and progress. People born in Horse years are traditionally described as independent, confident, intelligent, and social, though they may also be impulsive or easily restless. The year is often viewed as a suitable time for new projects, travel, and spending time with others.
