2026 King Charles III 'Lunar Year of the Horse' 999.9 1oz Gold Proof Coin
The lunar year of the Horse is the first coin to be released by the Royal Mint bearing the date 2026.
We have celebrated the Chinese zodiac since 2014, releasing new additions to The Shēngxiào Collection every year. Each coin fuses British craftsmanship with ancient Chinese traditions, ensuring the heritage and history behind this practice is evident in each design. This year is a special moment in the lunar calendar as the Horse appears only once every 12 years – meaning this is a unique opportunity to mark an important Chinese tradition.
Horse (1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014, 2026) Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Horse love to roam free. They’re energetic, self-reliant, money-wise, and they enjoy traveling, love and intimacy. They’re great at seducing, sharp-witted, impatient and sometimes seen as a drifter. Compatible with Dog or Tiger.
