Stock: Available
Code: 26G5020
This prestigious 2026 $100 Gold Proof Domed Coin celebrates the Lunar Year of the Horse. Lunar New Year is celebrated worldwide, with coins considered auspicious gifts. This coin features the free-spirited Horse amongst gingko leaves, a symbol of hope and resilience. The lunar calendar is presented on the obverse, rotated so that the Horse is at the top.
The Horse is the seventh of the twelve signs in the Chinese Zodiac. According to legend, twelve animals participated in a race across a river to allow the Jade Emperor to establish the order of the signs of the Chinese horoscope.
The galloping Horse looked like it would take sixth place, right after the Dragon, but it was startled by the Snake suddenly appearing at its hooves and ultimately finished in seventh place.
People born in the Year of the Horse are said to be passionate and free-spirited. Famous international Horses include film director James Cameron, environmental activist Greta Thunberg, and musician Paul McCartney. Well-known Australian Horses include actress Margot Robbie and horse trainer Gai Waterhouse.
