DESCRIPTION
The Australian Lunar Series III 2026 Year of the Horse 1oz Silver Bullion Coin celebrates the seventh animal of the Chinese zodiac in a beautifully crafted investment-grade bullion coin. Struck by The Perth Mint from 1 troy ounce of 99.99% pure silver, this release combines exceptional silver purity with distinctive Australian minting craftsmanship.
The reverse portrays a majestic mare alongside her young foal, both depicted in a striking galloping stance against a backdrop of mountains and grasslands. The design also features the Chinese character for “Horse”, the inscription “HORSE 2026” and The Perth Mint's iconic “P” mintmark.
Designed by Ing Ing Jong, the coin celebrates the Horse, traditionally associated with independence, charisma, adventure and determination. The obverse bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, together with the coin's weight, fineness and monetary denomination.
A micro-laser engraved authentication feature is incorporated into the reverse design for additional security, and each coin is presented in a protective acrylic capsule.
