Harness the vitality and stamina of the Year of the Horse with the latest masterpiece of the Perth Mint Lunar Series III. The 2026 Silver Lunar Horse is the seventh coin in this esteemed series and features the high-energy of its zodiac animal in extraordinary artistry and .9999 fine silver. With a stringent low mintage, this coin is an ultimate investment by connoisseur investors and a collector.
The Horse is the seventh animal in the Chinese zodiac because it is considered a source of power, freedom, and success. Individuals who are born in the Year of the Horse--2026, 2014, 2002, 1990, 1978, and every 12th year before--are thought to have a characteristic of being smart, energetic, independent and having constant energy. The Horse is dynamic and active with an aspiration toward accomplishment in a short period and enduring through difficulties. This coin is a physical embodiment of wealth, but also of these images of vitality and attractiveness, so it makes a wonderful gift to the person born under this lucky sign or anyone who finds themselves in need of a little of this spirit. The cultural and emotional depth of the zodiac is one of the key factors that makes the Lunar Series so highly sought after in the numismatic realm with its loyal repeat customer base.
The Perth Mint was the first to introduce a significant lunar-themed bullion coin program in 1996, which is now a phenomenon in the world. The Lunar Series III is the third version of this long-established tradition of excellence. The 1 oz silver bullion coins in this series are extremely popular, partly because their mintage is strictly limited to 300,000 pieces worldwide. This predetermined amount of production means that they are not like bullion coins such as the American Silver Eagle or Canadian Silver Maple Leaf, which are struck without limit. This rarity is a key determinant of numismatic appeal and can make earlier issues of the Lunar series appreciate in the secondary market significantly more than their silver content can justify.
The 2026 Silver Lunar Horse is struck with the official Commonwealth effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, designed by Dan Thorne. Following many centuries of numismatic convention, the King is shown facing left where his predecessor Queen Elizabeth II faced right. This definitive portrait signifies a new era of Commonwealth coinage and this coin is therefore an important item in the collector of a historical royal transition. The effigy is surrounded by the inscriptions of the following: CHARLES III, AUSTRALIA, 1 oz 9999 ag, and 1 DOLLAR.
The other side of the 2026 Silver Horse coin is the image of the animal with its unrestrained spirit and energy. A magnificent horse is portrayed in the middle of galloping in the rugged Australian outback, its mane and tail freely flowing. The design perfectly captures the feeling of movement and liberty, which are the most important qualities of the people born in the Year of the Horse. The Perth Mint mint mark (P), the Chinese character that represents the word Horse (馬) and the inscription HORSE 2026 are added to this magnificent scene.
The Silver Lunar Horse 2026 weighs 1 troy ounce of 99.99% pure silver. This high level of purity, $0.9999, exceeds the $0.999 level in many other sovereign silver coins, such as the American Silver Eagle, and thus offers the investor an even greater degree of purity. The Perth Mint is committed to quality.
In order to counter the increasing menace of counterfeiting, the Perth Mint has taken the initiative of integrating a new form of security feature in the coin design. A micro-laser inscribed letter is placed on the reverse art, which can only be seen under magnification. This innovative feature is extremely challenging to imitate and serves as another layer of security that confirms to investors that they are in possession of a genuine Perth Mint product. This is one of a series of innovations that world mints are making into the security of their bullion, one of the most important concerns to the modern day investors, and a step that increases the integrity of the coin and its global confidence.
