2026 Year of the Horse Coloured 1oz Silver Coin in Card Melbourne ANDA Coin Show Issue

Delivery expected Mid-Late February

The Perth Mint has released this exclusive 2026 Melbourne Money Expo ANDA Special Year of the Horse 1oz Silver Coloured Coin from the Australian Lunar Coin Series III.

According to Chinese tradition, the emperor ordered a great race between all the animals on Earth to determine who should occupy 12 positions in the lunar calendar. In pursuit of the fifth placed dragon, the free-spirited horse galloped towards the finish line with determination. In a sudden twist, the horse was startled by the snake which was wrapped around its hoof, causing it to lurch back in fright. Despite the setback, the resilient horse claimed seventh place.

Those born under the sign of the Chinese Lunar Horse in 2026, 2014, 2002, 1990 and every 12th preceding year are said to be independent, charismatic and love a sense of adventure. Being passionate and spirited, they are gifted with natural charm and an ability to inspire others.

The coin’s reverse portrays a representation of a majestic mare alongside her young foal, both depicted with elegant manes in a striking galloping stance. The coloured background includes towering mountains and the lush serenity of grasslands. Included in the design is the Chinese character for ‘Horse'.
