Story

Powerful pair

In Chinese mythology, the dragon and horse union is a symbol of strength, vitality and good fortune. The dragon represents celestial authority, wisdom, and auspicious energy, while the horse embodies endurance, speed, and an unyielding spirit. When paired, they convey a harmonious blend of heavenly power and earthly determination, often interpreted as a sign of success, ambition, and the drive to achieve greatness.

Dragon and horse design

The coin’s coloured reverse features a majestic horse with a flowing mane and raised hooves in red, representing fire on the left, while a fierce dragon with sharp claws, a serpentine body, and fish‑like scales appears in green, symbolising earth on the right. The background includes stylised cloud motifs, the 2026 year-date, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P10’ mintmark representing the 10th anniversary of the Chinese Myths and Legends coin series.
