The Year of the Fire Horse, occurring every sixty years, holds particular importance and notoriety in East Asian cultures. Fire Horses are believed to be extremely passionate, energetic, and rebellious, but also potentially destructive and difficult to control. This combination has created both fascination and apprehension around Fire Horse years.
The 2026 Australian Gold Lunar Horse features on its obverse the first-generation effigy of King Charles III used on Australian legal tender. Sculpted by Dan Thorne for the Perth Mint, the portrait captures the king in left-profile without the traditional crown.
The reverse design of the 2026 1/4 oz Gold Lunar Horse Coin displays a bold stallion rising on its hind legs. The horse is illustrated with its forelegs elevated in a dynamic pose, surrounded by a scenic backdrop of grassy hills and rugged mountains.
