According to Chinese legend, the horses role in the Lunar Calendar was decided in a race set by the Jade Emperor. The horse nearly took sixth place, but an unexpected turn of events placed it seventh, giving it the seventh year in the 12-year cycle. Today, 2026 Proof Burundi With Jade Year of the Horse 2 oz Silver Coins are offered online at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Each 2026 Proof Burundi With Jade Year of the Horse 2 oz Silver Coin is housed in a capsule and presented in a green box with a Certificate of Authenticity. These coins combine a Jade inlay, a gold privy mark, and a proof finish.
Obverse
On the obverse of the 2026 Proof Burundi With Jade Year of the Horse Silver Coin is the official coat of arms of Burundi. It displays a shield with a lions head at the center, supported by three spears behind it. This design has been used as the nations emblem since 1966.
Reverse
The reverse of the 2026 Proof With Jade Year of the Horse 2 oz Silver Coin shows lively depictions of horses. Two stylized horses appear in motion, charging toward the viewer with flames around their feet, linking to 2026 as the Year of the Fire Horse. At the center, a 24-karat gold privy mark contains a horse, while the highlight is the Jade stone carved with a horse image.
History
One telling of the Jade Emperors race notes the horse was close to winning as it crossed a river, but a snake that had hidden on its hoof startled it. This allowed the snake to finish sixth, while the horse ended seventh. This explains why the horse is the seventh sign of the cycle, between the snake and goat.
