2026 Canada Lunar Year of the Horse 1 oz Silver Proof Coin – NGC PF70 Ultra Cam
The 2026 Canada Lunar Year of the Horse silver coin celebrates one of the most energetic and symbolic animals of the Chinese zodiac. The horse traditionally represents strength, independence, determination, and vitality, making it a powerful theme for this collectible silver proof issue.
Struck by the Royal Canadian Mint from 1 troy ounce of .9999 fine silver, the coin features a proof finish that highlights intricate design elements with polished fields and frosted relief. The reverse design by artist Jai Paek presents a stylized horse in motion, surrounded by decorative folk-art inspired elements that emphasize energy, movement, and the spirit of the Fire Horse year. Floral motifs including jasmine and sunflower appear within the design, symbolizing grace, vitality, and loyalty.
The obverse features the effigy of King Charles III designed by Steven Rosati, confirming the coin’s status as legal tender of Canada with a face value of $15. The coin measures approximately 38 mm in diameter and contains the full one-ounce silver weight collectors expect from Royal Canadian Mint proof issues.
This release is part of the Royal Canadian Mint’s modern Lunar series celebrating the Chinese zodiac. With a limited mintage of 18,888 coins worldwide, the issue carries strong collector appeal among those building zodiac collections or marking the Year of the Horse.
Each coin offered here has been graded by NGC as PF70 Ultra Cameo, the highest possible grade for a proof coin. This designation confirms flawless surfaces and exceptional contrast between the mirrored fields and frosted design elements. The coin is preserved in an NGC archival holder and presented with the original display box and certificate of authenticity.
