In Chinese tradition, the Horse is a symbol of motion, growth, and change. People born in Horse years are often energetic and determined, and these years are seen as ideal for fresh starts, exploring new places, or chasing big goals.

The obverse of the 2026 Australian Gold Lunar Horse Coin presents a portrait of King Charles III. This image, designed by Dan Thorne, shows the king in a left-facing profile without a crown. It marks the first time Charles has appeared on this series.

On the reverse side of the coin, you’ll find the image of a horse rearing up on its hind legs. The horse is shown in a natural setting with tall mountains and open grasslands in the background. Ing Ing Jong created this design exclusively for the Lunar Series.
