2026 Lunar New Year - $1 Year of the Horse PNC
This Postal Numismatic Cover is highly collectable, featuring a pictorial envelope with a 2026 uncirculated $1 coin struck by the Perth Mint from the Christmas Island Lunar New Year stamp issue.
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.
