| Reverse description | The central field features a boldly rendered, colour-applied effigy of a prancing horse in vivid purple, depicted in left profile with its right foreleg raised and mane and tail flowing dynamically, symbolising the Chinese zodiac sign of the Horse. Below the horse in the lower field appears the Chinese character 馬 (horse). The wide border carries a continuous Chinese geometric lattice pattern identical to that on the obverse, within which the year pairs of the Horse cycle are inscribed around the full circumference: 1918 · 1930, 1942 · 1954, 1966 · 1978, 1990 · 2002, 2014 · 2026, and 2038 · 2050. The legend YEAR OF THE HORSE is inscribed along the upper arc within the border. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a bullion and commemorative licensing hub since the 1990s, issuing coins under New Zealand sovereignty that circulate nowhere but trade globally through numismatic channels. The Year of the Horse falls in 2026 under the sexagenary cycle, making this a forward-dated issue struck well before its nominal year — a common practice among Pacific sovereign mints competing for collector pre-orders.
