Frankrijk, 10 Euro, Calendrier Chinois
Année du Cheval - 2026 - Monnaie de
The Chinese Calendar series features a new animal each year. 2026 is the year of the Horse. In Chinese culture, the horse is one of the most spirited signs of the zodiac.
People born under the sign of the Horse are energetic and independent. They are renowned for their lively, enthusiastic and freedom-loving nature. In the centre of the coin face, a horse is galloping.
It appears to be crossing a ring engraved with traditional Chinese motifs. The moving horse recalls the characteristics of the natives of this sign: energy, independence and passion. The year 2026 and the inscription ‘Year of the Horse’ appear on the outlines of the design.
The reverse features all the animals of the Chinese zodiac on a screen surrounding a traditional temple door. A complete cycle of the Chinese zodiac begins in 2018 and lasts until 2029. Each of the twelve years in this period is represented by one of the zodiac animals.
The face value can be seen in the top left-hand corner, and the word ‘RF’ can be seen on the door.
