| Reverse description | A full-colour depiction of a galloping chestnut horse rendered in a dynamic illustrative style, occupying the majority of the fan-shaped field. The horse is shown in three-quarter frontal view, mane and tail flowing to the left, with all four legs extended mid-stride above a stylised green ground line. The mirror-polished background provides strong contrast to the applied colour. The Perth Mint mintmark P appears to the right of centre in the field, with the engraver's initials LB incused below it. |

| Additional information |
The "Year of the Horse" falls in 2026 under the current 60-year sexagenary cycle, making this a Fire Horse year — a combination that recurs only once every sixty years and carries considerable weight in Chinese astrological tradition. The Perth Mint has structured this release as one of four quadrant pieces, a format it has used across several lunar series to encourage set completion among collectors.
Charles III appears as effigy issuer following Ian Rank-Broadley's long-running portrait of Elizabeth II, with Jody Clark's updated obverse adopted across Australian commemorative coinage after her death in 2022.
