In Chinese astrology, people born in Horse years are traditionally characterized as energetic, independent, and freedom-loving. They are believed to be natural leaders with strong communication skills, adventurous spirits, and an innate desire to travel and explore. However, they can also be seen as impatient, stubborn, and sometimes prone to making hasty decisions.

On the obverse of the 2026 Australian Silver Lunar Horse, the mint presents King Charles III in a left-facing profile. The portrait shows His Majesty without a crown and is the first Australian coin effigy of Charles III. This design was created by artist Dan Thorne.

The reverse of the 2026 2 oz Silver Lunar Horse Coin features an image of a mare with her foal running through rich grasslands, framed by distant mountain peaks. Ing Ing Jong, who began designing lunar-themed pieces for The Perth Mint in 2013, is the artist behind this depiction.
