Horse year celebrations feature vibrant parades with elaborate horse-themed floats, dancers in equestrian costumes, and performances that mimic the rhythmic galloping of horses. Traditional lion and dragon dances are often accompanied by “horse dances” where performers demonstrate the animal’s characteristic movements and spirited nature. Families gather for special meals featuring foods believed to bring the horse’s positive qualities of success and forward momentum.

The obverse of the 2026 Proof Australian Gold Lunar Horse comes with an effigy of King Charles III. His Majesty is shown here in left-profile relief in a first-generation portrait created by Dan Thorne. This is the primary design for Australian currency, as well as other Commonwealth nations in the Pacific.
