Gold, Remembrance and Gallop: The Gold Coin of the Golden Horse Amazons Series in the Context of the Steigenberger Family
June 11, 2026
At first glance, the connection between the Steigenberger family, a gold coin and international horse racing might seem like a marginal topic. For readers with an interest in numismatics, however, the case is noteworthy because it demonstrates how a modern bullion coin can take on significance within a context that is at once ceremonial, commemorative and steeped in sporting history.
At the centre of it all is the Golden Horse Amazons Series, a racing series linked to women’s horse racing. It is within this framework that the gold coin acquires its symbolic significance. The numismatic appeal arises not from a special strike, but from the deliberate use of a regular gold coin as a decoration in memory of Albert Steigenberger.
