2026 Year of the Horse Medallion in Card

2026 Year of the Horse Medallion & Stamp Cover PNC

Lunar New Year is the most important of the traditional Chinese festivals and is celebrated by Asian cultures throughout the world.

Seen as a time of renewal, it is also known as Spring Festival in China.

Lunar New Year celebrations vary regionally in China, and other countries with Chinese populations, but they centre on family. 

A family reunion dinner is held, with specially prepared food. Incense is burned for ancestors; friends visit each other with presents, and cards are exchanged. 

To promote good fortune, gifts of money wrapped in lucky red paper envelopes are given, and houses and streets are decorated with lanterns.

Traditional lion and dragon dances are performed, and fireworks are set off. Many families stay up to watch a special New Year broadcast on TV. 

The celebrations conclude with the annual Lantern Festival.

On the obverse, the medallion bears the Year of the Horse 2026 & Horse Logo.
