Each 2026 5 oz Black Proof Niue Silver Lunar Horse Coin is housed in a wooden presentation box and includes a Certificate of Authenticity, with a Lunar Horse-themed outer shipper. The coin features a black proof finish with frosted design elements and mirrored fields. On the reverse, two of the horses and select details are accented with 24-karat gold.

In Chinese culture, the horse represents power, speed, and perseverance. People born under this sign are thought to communicate well and enjoy adventure, though they can sometimes be impatient or restless. The horse’s long history in transport, agriculture, and warfare also ties it to ideas of progress and steady achievement.

The obverse of the 2026 Black Proof Niue Silver Lunar Horse Coin displays the effigy of King Charles III. The left-profile portrait shows His Majesty without a crown. Created by Jody Clark, this artwork is among the first-generation effigies of Charles III used across several Commonwealth issues.

The reverse of the 2026 5 oz Black Proof Silver Lunar Horse Coin presents an ornate scene with three horses. Two figures are finished with 24-karat gold while a third retains its silver appearance, creating a clear contrast against the black proof background. Horse years are often viewed as suitable times for new plans, travel, and goal-setting because of the sign’s active character.
