The Perth Mint in Australia is minting its third lunar series in a row. Coins from this series are minted each year with a new motif based on the Chinese lunar calendar. These coins are highly sought after by collectors and investors worldwide.

Undoubtedly, 2026 will be no exception.

Each animal of the lunar zodiac is said to lend its dominant characteristics to those born during its reign. The seventh of the 12 auspicious animal symbols, the horse, lends independence, charisma, and a sense of adventure to those born under its influence in 2026, 2014, 2002, 1990, and every 12 years before that. They are passionate and temperamental, with natural charm and the ability to inspire others.

The reverse of the coin features a majestic mare with her young foal, both with elegant manes in an impressive galloping position. The background features towering mountains and lush, peaceful pastures. The design also includes the Chinese character for "horse," the inscription "HORSE 2026," and the Perth Mint's "P" mark.

The coin’s obverse bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, as well as the weight, fineness, and the monetary denomination.

The coin is housed in a protective capsule.

Don't forget that we offer a premium, elegant case for all 12 Australian Lunar Coin III 1 oz coins in their original capsules.
