| Additional information |
The Year of the Horse falls in 2026 under the Chinese lunisolar calendar, continuing the Royal Mint's long-running Lunar series — a commercial program that has run in various forms since 1999 and now competes in a crowded market alongside Australian, Canadian, and Chinese state mint offerings. The Royal Mint has no particular historical claim to lunar coinage; these are bullion-adjacent collectibles produced squarely for the numismatic gift trade.
Struck in .999 fine silver rather than the .925 sterling used for most British proof coinage, a quiet but deliberate concession to bullion collector expectations.
