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 reverse features a majestic horse with a flowing mane and raised hooves on the left, while on the right a fierce dragon with sharp claws, a serpentine body, and fish‑like scales creates a powerful visual balance. The background includes stylised depictions of clouds, along with the 2026 year-date and The Perth Mint’s ‘P10’ mintmark representing the 10th anniversary of the Chinese Myths and Legends Coin Series.

Authentication feature

For additional peace of mind, the coin incorporates an authentication feature in the form of a micro-laser engraved letter. Detectable under a magnifying glass, it’s designed to make it significantly more difficult for the coin to be counterfeited.

Presentation packaging 

The coin is presented in a protective acrylic capsule.
