Celebrate the seventh animal in the Chinese lunar zodiac with this majestic Australia 2026 Lunar Series III - Year of the Horse 99.99% Coloured Bullion Silver Coin 1/2oz from The Perth Mint’s Lunar Series III, honouring the Year of the Horse in 2026. Crafted from 2oz of 99.99% fine 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 reverse design features a beautifully coloured mare and foal, both depicted mid-gallop with flowing manes, set against a backdrop of mountains and grasslands. 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" and The Perth Mint’s "P" mintmark. The obverse features Dan Thorne’s 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 1/2oz coloured bullion silver coin is limited to just 50,000, making it a prized addition for investors and lunar coin collectors alike.
