Silver Lunar III 1 oz PF - Horse 2026

Information about the Silver Lunar III 1 oz PF – Horse 2026

The latest release in the Lunar III Series by The Perth Mint celebrates the beauty of the Horse. A masterfully designed motif invites collectors to immerse themselves in the world of Chinese mythology. The horse is the seventh sign in the twelve-year lunar calendar. This reflects the traditional legend in which the Jade Emperor held a race across a river to determine the order of the twelve zodiac animals. Despite a brief setback caused by the snake, the horse placed seventh, demonstrating an unyielding spirit. Those born in 2026, 2014, 2002, 1990, 1978, and every twelfth year before, under the Chinese sign of the Horse, are considered independent, charismatic, and adventurous. Passionate and spirited, they possess a natural radiance and the ability to inspire others.

In addition to the classic bullion versions in standard denominations, The Perth Mint is also issuing the Lunar Series in gold and silver in a Proof (PF) version. Proof quality is highly prized among collectors and is considered one of the most elaborate minting techniques. As a special collector's highlight, each coin is delivered in a protective capsule with a numbered certificate of authenticity and a high-quality presentation case with magnetic closure. The illustrations on the boxes depict the story of the Great Race in chronological order, which determined the positions of the animals in the Chinese zodiac. This unique silver coin is strictly limited to a worldwide mintage of only 5,000 pieces.

The Design of the Silver Coin

The obverse of the coin features a majestic mare alongside her young foal – both shown with flowing manes in an impressive galloping pose. In the background are striking mountain landscapes and the tranquil expanse of grassland. Also featured are the Chinese character for Horse "馬", the inscription "HORSE 2026", and the Perth Mint’s mintmark "P".

The reverse of the coin depicts the effigy of King Charles III. Above the portrait are the inscriptions "CHARLES III" and "AUSTRALIA". Below are the weight "1 oz", the fineness "999.9 Ag", and the face value "1 DOLLAR".
