The reverse design by artist Aries Cheung celebrates the spirit of advancing bravely towards goals without hesitation in 2026, the year of the Fire Horse. A shining example of vitality, the free-spirited Horse is seen blazing its own trail and proudly looks back at the fire it has generated along the way, while auspicious clouds fill the sky above. The Horse is adorned with auspicious qi (or chi) motifs that symbolize energy; ru yi (or yu yi) patterns that represent granted wishes for protection; wings that reflect the Horse’s celestial status and speed; stylized wild horses and calla lilies, the Horse’s lucky flower; and a chest emblem that traditionally symbolizes hope, wellness and pending good fortune. The reverse also includes the word “CANADA” and a face value of “2500 DOLLARS”. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
