Design & Craftsmanship

The obverse features the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, together with the coin's weight, purity and monetary denomination.

In Chinese tradition, the horse symbolises strength, independence, charisma and adventure. People born under the Year of the Horse—including those born in 2026, 2014, 2002, 1990, and every twelfth preceding year—are said to possess natural confidence, passion and the ability to inspire others.
