This is the first official effigy of His Majesty to appear on Australian coins, and it also appears on coins from several Commonwealth nations in the Pacific region. The design is by Dan Thorne and shows King Charles III in a left-facing profile without a crown. **Reverse** The reverse design of the 2026 1 oz Proof Silver Lunar Horse Coin shows two horses running along a riverbank. The movement in the scene is meant to reflect freedom, power, and the natural force often associated with the Fire Horse. Artists typically select running poses to highlight energy and passion, showing the horses in full stride with flowing manes and hooves lifted from the ground to suggest speed and a sense of independence. **History** Many people consider the Fire Horse year a good time for moving forward with confidence, exploring new paths, and staying focused on personal goals. The forward-looking spirit tied to this year is often connected to optimism, steady momentum, and a willingness to push past setbacks. Fire Horse individuals are frequently described as bold and energetic, with a natural ability to motivate others through their enthusiasm and their refusal to be held back. **Ordering** If you have any questions about silver coins for sale, please feel free to ask.
