According to Chinese tradition, the horse earned its place in the Lunar Calendar after a famous race organized by the Jade Emperor. The horse seemed set to arrive in sixth place, but a last-second twist pushed it to seventh, making it the seventh year in the 12-year cycle.

For the obverse of the 2026 2 oz Proof Silver with Jade Year of the Horse Coins, you’ll find the national coat of arms of Burundi at the center. The emblem shows a shield backed by three spears, with a forward-facing lion’s head on the shield. This version of the coat of arms has been in use since 1966.

In the reverse design of the 2026 Proof Burundi Silver with Jade Year of the Horse Coins, there are detailed scenes of the horse. Two stylized horses run toward the viewer with flames at their feet, noting 2026 as the Year of the Fire Horse. A 24-karat gold privy mark at the center presents another horse, while the standout element is the natural Jade stone, carved with a horse motif.

In many tellings of the Jade Emperor’s race, the horse was leading across a river when a snake—hidden around the horse’s hoof—suddenly appeared and startled it, letting the snake finish sixth and the horse seventh. This story explains why the horse is the seventh animal in the twelve-year cycle, after the snake and before the goat.

These 2026 2 oz Proof Burundi Silver with Jade Year of the Horse Coins come sealed in capsules and presented in green gift boxes. Each box includes a Certificate of Authenticity from the mint. The coin’s key features include the Jade inlay, a 24-karat gold privy mark, and a proof finish.
