Australian Lunar Series III Year of the Horse Gilded 1 oz Silver 2026

Perth Mint: Lunar III – Year of the Horse Gilded 1 oz Silver 2026 is an exceptional gilded collectible coin struck from one troy ounce of .9999 fine silver, forming part of the prestigious Lunar III series. The issue commemorates the Year of the Horse—the seventh sign of the Chinese zodiac—combining Far Eastern tradition with the high quality of craftsmanship characteristic of the Australian mint.

According to Chinese legend, the emperor organized a great race to select twelve animals to symbolize the years of the calendar. The horse, which arrived seventh, became a symbol of independence, charisma, and untamed energy. People born in the Year of the Horse are marked by optimism, courage, and a strong drive to act.

The limited mintage and elegant presentation case with an accompanying certificate of authenticity make it a prized collectible, perfect both as part of a private collection and as a form of long-term investment.

The Lunar III series attracts enormous interest from collectors and investors each year. The coin designs are prepared with the utmost care by renowned artists, which is why these pieces stand out for both their aesthetics and their growing numismatic value.
