Delayed Dispatch - Mid September 

Celebrate the Year of the Horse 2026 with this prestigious 1/4 Gold Proof Coin from The Perth Mint, struck from 99.99% pure Gold. This release is a must-have for collectors of lunar series coins and those born under the Chinese zodiac sign of the Horse.

The Legend of the Horse

According to Chinese tradition, the order of the zodiac was decided by a great celestial race. The free-spirited horse galloped towards the finish with determination, only to be startled by the cunning snake entwined around its hoof. Despite the setback, the horse’s resilience secured its place as the seventh animal in the lunar cycle.

Those born in the Year of the Horse (2026, 2014, 2002, 1990, and every 12th preceding year) are said to be independent, charismatic, adventurous, and naturally inspiring.
