Information about Gold Lunar Horse 1 oz Proof Domed Coin - RAM 2026

This special gold coin from the Royal Australian Mint is dedicated to the Year of the Horse (2026) in the Chinese lunar calendar. This calendar reflects the traditional story in which the Chinese zodiac cycle comprises twelve years, with each year represented by an animal and its corresponding characteristics. Featuring the horse motif, this coin marks the seventh issue in the successful Lunar RAM series. In Chinese elemental theory, each zodiac sign is associated with a specific element depending on the year. Specifically, 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse, and people born in this year are considered passionate, energetic, independent, creative, and artistic. These coins appeal to both precious metal investors and collectors.

This exclusive gold coin is struck in proof quality and delivered in an elegant coin case with a numbered certificate of authenticity. Proof quality is particularly sought after by collectors and is one of the most elaborate minting techniques used in coin production. While high-relief minting raises only the relief of the motif side, this domed minting technique shapes the entire coin field into a curved form. This minting process also presents special challenges for mints. However, the effort is worthwhile, as both the convex and concave curvature of the coin create a truly distinctive appearance. The worldwide mintage of this special gold coin is limited to just 750 pieces.

The design of the gold coin

The motif side of this exquisitely designed coin features a free-spirited horse surrounded by ginkgo leaves, which symbolise hope, strength, and resilience. The inscription "YEAR OF THE HORSE", the weight "1 oz", and the fineness ".9999 Au" are also visible. The obverse features the effigy of King Charles III, designed by Daniel Thorne, surrounded by the 12 zodiac signs. The current zodiac sign is positioned at 12 o'clock above the portrait. The portrait is framed by the inscriptions "CHARLES III", "AUSTRALIA 2026", and "100 DOLLARS".
