Valor is an ideal gift for children born in the Year of the Horse.

The Chinese Year of the Horse is one of the cyclical periods in the Chinese calendar. The Chinese calendar is a lunar-solar calendar, meaning that it takes into account both the phases of the moon and the movement of the sun, creating a unique system of timekeeping. Each year in this calendar is assigned to one of the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac - from the Rat to the Pig - as well as one of the five basic elements: wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Each combination of animal and element is repeated every 60 years, creating a rich and symbolic tradition. The Year of the Horse is considered a period full of energy, movement and dynamism. The horse in Chinese culture symbolizes freedom, vitality, courage and ambition. It is a time when, according to folk beliefs, people can expect many new opportunities, career development, travel and personal and professional success. The Year of the Horse is conducive to taking risks, carrying out plans and activities that require courage and determination. People born in the Year of the Horse are regarded as energetic, entrepreneurial and charismatic, and their character often combines independence with a strong sense of responsibility.

The reverse of the silver coin features a young horse lying on a flowery ground, symbolizing the joy of life and harmony with nature. The right side features a Chinese sign corresponding to the horse, which emphasizes the nature of the coin and its connection to the Chinese zodiac. The obverse of the coin is decorated with a classic portrait of King Charles III, along with the denomination, bullion proof and weight of the coin, preserving traditional numismatic elements.
