2026: Of Wishes and Gilded Gold

Reading time: 2'19"

One could not usher in the new year without wishing it upon you—rich in gold, in wonder, and in belles épreuves.

Balanced and poised, 2026 opens as a blank page, shaped by an elegant triad: the force of motion, the promise of light, and the pursuit of what is essential.

2026: Momentum and Clarity in Balance

The year 2026 opens like a blank page, offering numismatics and history a renewed space for expression. It is shaped by a compelling duality: the energy of movement and the search for what truly endures.

I - The Fire Horse: A Spirit in Motion

On 17 February 2026 begins the Year of the Fire Horse, an event that occurs only once every sixty years.

In the Chinese zodiac, this rare conjunction embodies independence, vitality, and an unrelenting drive forward.

After years of transition, 2026 sets a brisk pace. It invites confidence and decisive action.

For collectors, it is a year of bold choices: acquiring pieces of strong character, symbols of speed, strength, and accomplishment.

II - Cloud Dancer: A Return to Clarity

To balance the intensity of the Fire Horse, Pantone introduces Cloud Dancer. This soft, creamy white reflects a desire for calm and clarity in an ever-accelerating world.

Like an untouched page, it suggests a pause—an essential moment of focus. In numismatics, it evokes the purity of metal in its original state, or the pristine surface before the strike.

For collectors, 2026 is also a year of discernment: choosing pieces defined by balance, restraint, and timeless elegance.

Embrace the Purity of Silver

III - Syria: Renewal Through the Land

From 1 January 2026, Syria unveils a new banknote series that marks a symbolic shift. Moving away from political imagery, it highlights the country’s living heritage: ancient olive trees, nourishing wheat, and the iconic Damascus rose.

This return to natural motifs reflects a deeper reconnection with origins and continuity.

For collectors, it signals a year of renewal: rediscovering pieces that speak of resilience, memory, and hope.
