In Chinese tradition, Fire is one of five core elements and is often connected with warmth, transformation, and outward energy. When paired with a lunar animal, Fire is believed to add extra brightness and drive, bringing a more active and expressive tone to the sign it accompanies. With the Horse, those traits are commonly associated with motivation, creativity, and a push to keep moving forward.

On the obverse of the 2026 Pitcairn Islands Silver Lunar Year of the Horse Coins, you’ll find an effigy of King Charles III. The portrait shows His Majesty in left-profile relief without a crown, reflecting one of the earliest official coin portraits issued during his reign. The design was created by Glyn Davies and is recognized as a first-generation likeness used for modern coinage.

The reverse of the 2026 1/2 oz Silver Lunar Year of the Horse Coins features a lively scene of a horse in motion beneath flowering trees. Fire Horse imagery often focuses on movement, energy, and determination, and this design follows that tradition with an active, forward-leaning pose that highlights those familiar themes tied to the zodiac pairing.
