According to the Lunar Calendar, 2026 is celebrated as the Year of the Horse, and this particular zodiac cycle is known as the Year of the Fire Horse. This pairing of the Horse with the fire element comes around once every 60 years and helps shape the symbolism and artwork used for the series. The Year of the Fire Horse runs from February 17, 2026, through February 5, 2027. To mark the occasion, the Perth Mint has released a variety of collectible coins featuring the Horse.

Newborn foals are known for how quickly they get moving compared to many other animals. It’s common for a foal to stand within about an hour and begin walking not long after. This early mobility traces back to wild horses, where staying with the herd and avoiding danger mattered right away. Foals also arrive with long legs that can look oversized at first, plus a soft, fluffy coat that helps keep them warm in those early days.

All 2026 1/2 oz Proof Colorized Tuvalu Silver Lunar Baby Horse Coins arrive individually encapsulated and housed in a classic Perth Mint presentation case with a clear acrylic lid. Each coin is placed inside a themed outer box and includes a Certificate of Authenticity from the Perth Mint. The reverse design is enhanced with detailed colorization, giving the scene extra depth and a bright, eye-catching finish.

On the obverse of the 2026 Proof Colorized Tuvalu Silver Lunar Baby Horse, you’ll find King Charles III in left-profile relief. He is shown without a crown, creating a clean and modern portrait style. This first-generation effigy of His Majesty was created by Jody Clark.

The reverse of the 2026 1/2 oz Proof Colorized Silver Lunar Baby Horse Coin features a young foal lying down in a colorful bed of flowers. In the first days of life, foals spend a lot of time resting while they build strength, and they often stay close to their mothers as they learn and adjust. Their large, expressive eyes and quick curiosity are part of what makes the early foal stage so recognizable, with playful behavior showing up almost immediately.
