The Coin Company is proud to present the 2025 Hobart Money Expo - 2026 Year of the Horse 1/4oz Silver Coloured Coin in Card produced by The Perth Mint exclusively for Hobart Money Expo 2025.
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 cheated 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 coloured representation of a majestic mare alongside her young foal, both depicted with
elegant manes in a striking galloping stance. The background includes an image of mountainous landscapes and
grassland. Included in the design is the Chinese character for ‘Horse’, the inscription ‘HORSE 2026’, and The Perth
Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
On the obverse, the coin bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, alongside details of its weight,
fineness, and monetary denomination.
The coin is presented in a card featuring the dates of the 2025 Hobart Money Expo.
