2026 2 oz Australia Lunar Series III - Year of the Horse .9999 Silver Coloured BU Coin

Gallop into the spirit of one of the most revered animals in Chinese mythology with a coin that captures the untamed energy and noble grace of the Horse. As part of Australia’s Lunar Series III, this 2 oz silver coloured coin is a powerful tribute to the seventh sign of the lunar zodiac, celebrated for its independence, charisma, and unyielding drive. Struck by The Perth Mint, a name synonymous with precision and excellence in precious metal craftsmanship, this release continues a legacy of artistry rooted in cultural storytelling.

The reverse design by Ing Ing Jong vividly portrays a dynamic horse mid-gallop, rendered in rich colour to highlight its muscular strength and flowing mane, symbolizing freedom and vitality. The moment is steeped in legend — as the tale goes, the horse surged forward in pursuit of the dragon during the celestial race, only to be startled by a snake coiled around its hoof. Despite the shock, it recovered swiftly to secure seventh place in the lunar calendar, a testament to resilience and determination. This narrative depth is masterfully woven into the coin's visual language, making it more than a collectible — it's a miniature canvas of cultural heritage.

Beyond its symbolic richness, the coin meets exacting technical standards: crafted from 99.99% pure silver, with a 2 troy ounce silver content, and protected within a capsule to preserve its brilliance. With a maximum mintage of 10,000 pieces worldwide, each piece carries exclusivity and intention. The obverse features the trusted portrait by Dan Thorne, affirming authenticity and national pride. For collectors drawn to Chinese zodiac traditions and fine minted art, this coin represents a harmonious blend of cultural significance, artistic mastery, and precious metal purity.
