Celebrate the seventh animal in the Chinese lunar zodiac with this majestic 1oz silver bullion coin from The Perth Mint’s Lunar Series III, honouring the Year of the Horse in 2026. Crafted from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver, this substantial coin reflects the Mint’s dedication to artistry, tradition, and security.
According to Chinese legend, the Jade Emperor staged a great race to determine the order of the zodiac animals. The horse, known for its free-spirited and resilient nature, claimed seventh place despite a surprise encounter with a serpent along the way. People born under the sign of the Horse, in 2026, 2014, 2002, 1990, and every twelfth year prior, are said to be independent, charismatic, and drawn to adventure.
The coin’s reverse features a graceful mare and her lively foal, both captured mid-gallop across open grasslands beneath towering mountain peaks. The flowing manes and powerful movement reflect freedom, vitality, and familial strength. The design also incorporates the Chinese character for "Horse" (馬), the inscription "HORSE 2026", The Perth Mint’s "P" mintmark, and a micro-engraved security feature detectable under magnification. The obverse features the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, the King’s name “CHARLES III”, along with the coin’s weight, purity, metal content, face value and country of issue.
As one of the most popular annual releases, this 1oz silver coin is limited to just 300,000 pieces, making it a prized addition for investors and lunar coin collectors alike.
