In Chinese astrology, people born under the Horse sign are thought to be energetic, independent, and drawn to freedom. They often show natural leadership and enjoy travel and adventure. At times, they may be seen as impatient, strong-willed, or quick to decide.

Each 2026 2 oz Australian Silver Lunar Horse Coin is in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Single coins are packaged in plastic capsules, while groups of 100 come in a box. Every coin includes a tiny security mark on the reverse.

The obverse of the coin features King Charles III in a left-facing profile. He is shown without a crown in a portrait designed by Dan Thorne, the first Australian coin effigy to depict Charles III.

On the reverse, you’ll find a mare with her foal running through open grasslands, with distant mountains in the background. This design is the work of Ing Ing Jong, who has created Lunar series designs for The Perth Mint since 2013.
