The Fire Horse year happens once every sixty years, when the Horse sign aligns with the fire element in the Chinese astrological cycle. The most recent Fire Horse year was 1966, with the one before that in 1906. This pairing has drawn curiosity and tradition-based views, especially in Japan, where it was once believed that women born in Fire Horse years might be unusually strong-willed and independent.

The Royal Australian Mint’s Lunar series uses a consistent obverse style that places a ring of the twelve zodiac animals around the monarch’s portrait, with the current year’s animal positioned at the top for each release.
