| Reverse description | A stylized horse rendered in a geometric, faceted low-polygon sculptural style is depicted in a proud walking pose, facing right with one foreleg raised, dominating the central field. The horse is struck in high relief in polished silver, creating a dramatic contrast against the vivid concentric multicoloured enamel background that radiates outward in successive bands of blue, purple, red, orange, yellow and gold, filling the entire scalloped field. The cyclical Chinese sexagenary calendar inscription 丙午 (Bǐng Wǔ), identifying this as the Year of the Horse in the Bing Wu cycle, appears in the upper left field. The face value 10元 is inscribed in the lower field in coloured lettering. |

| Additional information |
China's lunar silver program shifted to the current 30g / 40mm specification in 2016, replacing the long-running 1-troy-ounce format that had defined the series since 1981. The 2026 Horse falls in the third cycle of the modern lunar series — the first cycle having begun with the 1981 Horse, meaning this is the third time the mint has addressed the same subject under substantially different production parameters.
