DESCRIPTION
The 2026 Australian Lunar Series III Year of the Horse 1/10oz Gold Bullion Coin celebrates the seventh animal of the Chinese zodiac in a beautifully crafted investment-grade gold release. Struck by The Perth Mint from 1/10 troy ounce of 99.99% pure gold, this compact bullion coin combines exceptional purity with internationally recognised Australian minting craftsmanship.
Designed by Ing Ing Jong, the reverse portrays a magnificent horse with elevated hooves, displaying strength and poise against a backdrop of mountainous landscapes and grassland. The design also incorporates the Chinese character for “Horse”, the inscription “HORSE 2026” and The Perth Mint's iconic “P” mintmark.
The Horse is traditionally associated with independence, charisma and a sense of adventure. As part of The Perth Mint's acclaimed Australian Lunar Series III, the 2026 release combines meaningful Lunar symbolism with the intrinsic value of physical gold.
The obverse bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, together with the coin's weight, fineness and AUD $15 monetary denomination. Each coin is presented in a protective acrylic capsule.
