2026 Burundi 2 oz Silver & Jade Year of the Horse Proof

---

This modern proof coin from 2026 showcases an extraordinary blend of materials and artistry, combining two troy ounces of 0.999 fine silver with a natural jade stone insert. Issued under the authority of Burundi, the coin celebrates the Lunar Year of the Horse with a highly detailed, carved jade profile of a horse at its center. Because natural jade is utilized, the coloration of the stone insert varies from one individual coin to another, making each piece unique. The reverse design frames the central jade carving with elegant silver horse motifs. A distinctive 24k gold-plated horse privy mark provides a striking contrast to the silver and green tones of the coin. Legible inscriptions on the reverse highlight the year 2026 and the theme, "YEAR OF THE HORSE." On the obverse, the national emblem of Burundi is displayed prominently, featuring the traditional motto "UNITE TRAVAIL PROGRES" along with the face value of 25 Francs. The silver purity and weight are also confirmed by the obverse inscription of "2 OZ Ag 999." This legal tender release is limited to a mintage of 1,888 pieces, representing a masterful fusion of precious metal and carved gemstone.
