The Fire Horse year in the Chinese sexagenary cycle last fell in 1966, when its reputation for producing headstrong, ungovernable individuals was so feared in Japan that the birth rate dropped by over 25% — women actively avoided having children that year. The 2026 cycle marks its return. Niue's use of the license as a sovereign issuer has made it one of the more prolific small-nation minting authorities since the 1990s, producing legal tender entirely for collector export rather than domestic circulation, a country of roughly 1,500 people having no practical use for a 31-gram gold coin.
