| Reverse description | A horse stands on a cobbled street before a prominent clock tower displaying the time at 12:00, evoking a traditional urban setting associated with Chinese New Year celebrations. The design, by engraver Wendy Williams whose initials 'WW' appear in the field, is framed by the legend 'YEAR OF THE HORSE' above and the date '2026' with the Chinese character '馬' (horse) below. The composition masterfully combines Eastern and Western iconographic traditions within a finely struck proof finish. |
