In Chinese tradition, the horse is associated with strength, energy, and forward momentum. Texts such as the Book of Changes (I Ching) connect the horse to the hexagram “Qian,” representing the creative force of heaven and continuous progress.

The obverse of the 2026 Australian Silver Lunar Horse Coin displays the first Australian coin portrait of King Charles III. Shown in left-profile relief without a crown, the design is the work of Dan Thorne.

On the reverse, you’ll find a detailed depiction of a mare and her foal running across grassy land with tall mountains in the background. Ing Ing Jong created this artwork, adding to her history with The Perth Mint’s lunar designs that began in 2013.
