For the obverse of 2026 2 oz Proof Silver with Jade Year of the Horse Coins, the national coat of arms of Burundi is featured at the center. The national emblem features a shield backed by three spears with a lion’s head in front-facing relief on the shield. This version of the coat of arms was adopted in 1966.

In the reverse design of 2026 Proof Burundi Silver with Jade Year of the Horse Coins, you will find detailed depictions of the horse. The background features two stylized horses sprinting toward the viewer with flames at their feet, a symbol of 2026 being the Year of the Fire Horse. At the center, a 24-karat gold privy mark includes another depiction of a horse. The highlight of the design is the natural Jade stone that features a carved depiction of a horse.

In most versions of the Jade Emperor’s race legend, the horse was winning the race across a river until the snake, who had been hiding wrapped around the horse’s hoof, suddenly appeared and frightened the horse, allowing the snake to finish sixth while the horse came in seventh. This mythological explanation accounts for the horse’s position as the seventh animal in the twelve-year cycle, following the snake and preceding the goat.
