Each 2026 1 oz Royal Australian Mint Silver Year of the Horse Coin offered here comes in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and is individually housed in a protective capsule. In the Royal Australian Mint’s Lunar series, the obverse carries a consistent layout: a ring featuring all 12 zodiac animals encircles the monarch’s portrait, with the highlighted animal for that year placed at the top of the ring.

A Fire Horse year appears when the Horse aligns with the fire element in the Chinese astrological cycle—once every sixty years. The most recent Fire Horse year was 1966, with the one before that in 1906. This pairing has drawn special attention in parts of East Asia, including Japan, where tradition held that those born in Fire Horse years—especially women—might be notably strong-willed.

King Charles III appears on the obverse of the 2026 Royal Australian Mint Silver Year of the Horse Coins. His left-facing effigy is centered within the field, surrounded by the ring of zodiac animals mentioned above.

A sprinting horse is shown on the reverse of the 2026 1 oz RAM Silver Year of the Horse Coins. In Fire Horse years, artists often focus on motion and drive—scenes of full gallop, rearing forms, or silhouettes moving through stylized flames—using flowing manes and tails to suggest constant forward movement and the spirited nature associated with this zodiac sign.
