2026 1oz Australia Lunar Series III - Year of the Horse .9999 Silver Coloured BU Coin

Speed, grace, and untamed spirit—few animals capture the essence of freedom quite like the horse, a symbol deeply revered in Chinese culture for its vitality and perseverance. The 2026 Year of the Horse coin from The Perth Mint brings this powerful emblem to life through a vibrant coloured design, celebrating not only an iconic zodiac sign but also the enduring legacy of the Australian Lunar Series III. This meticulously crafted release honours the legend of the great celestial race, where the horse’s bold stride was momentarily disrupted—but never defeated.

At the heart of this collectible is one troy ounce of .9999 fine silver, reflecting the exceptional purity and precision synonymous with The Perth Mint’s global reputation. With a limited maximum mintage of 50,000, each coin carries a sense of exclusivity, making it a meaningful addition for collectors drawn to cultural storytelling and numismatic artistry. The reverse features an energetic depiction of the horse by designer Ing Ing Jong, while the obverse bears the official monetary denomination of 1 AUD and the portrait by Dan Thorne, both hallmarks of authenticity and craftsmanship.

Housed in a protective capsule to preserve its brilliant finish, this coin stands as a tribute to resilience and charisma—qualities embodied by those born under the lunar horse. From the symbolic narrative of the race to the modern artistry of its coloured visual design, every detail connects tradition with contemporary minting excellence. As part of the acclaimed Lunar Series III, this release continues a cherished tradition of blending cultural depth with collectible beauty, all under the trusted authority of Australia’s official mint.
