The 2026 1 oz Perth Mint Lunar Horse Silver Bar celebrates the Year of the Horse, the seventh sign in the Chinese zodiac, as part of The Perth Mint's Australian Lunar Series III.
Struck from 1 troy ounce of .9999 fine silver, it features a distinctive rectangular format that gives it the appearance of a bullion bar while remaining an official Australian legal tender issue with a face value of A$1.The reverse showcases a mare galloping alongside her foal across an open landscape, capturing the strength, freedom, and energy traditionally associated with the Horse. Limited to a maximum mintage of 300,000 pieces, each release also incorporates The Perth Mint's micro-engraved security feature to help verify authenticity.
Obverse
The obverse features The Perth Mint's iconic swan logo along with the bar's weight and purity, presenting the clean, minimalist appearance that has become a hallmark of the mint's rectangular bullion issues.
Reverse
The reverse depicts a mare and her foal running across a landscape of mountains and open grasslands. Above the design appears the inscription "HORSE 2026," accompanied by the Chinese character for Horse, the Perth Mint's "P" mintmark, and a micro-engraved security element that is visible only under magnification. The dynamic composition reflects the independence, vitality, and adventurous spirit traditionally associated with those born in the Year of the Horse.
The Perth Mint introduced its first Lunar bullion program in 1996, drawing inspiration from the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac. Silver editions followed in 1999, and the collection has since become one of the mint's best-known bullion series. The current Lunar Series III began in 2020 and continues through 2031, completing another full twelve-year zodiac cycle. Each annual release features new artwork dedicated to that year's zodiac animal, making every issue distinct while preserving the consistent quality and purity for which The Perth Mint is known. The 2026 Horse marks the seventh release in the current series.
According to Chinese legend, the order of the zodiac animals was determined by the Great Race, a contest organized by the Jade Emperor. The Horse was among the strongest competitors and appeared poised for a high finish. Near the end of the race, however, the Snake, hidden beneath the Horse's hoof, suddenly emerged, startling it just before the finish line. The brief hesitation allowed the Snake to move ahead, leaving the Horse to claim seventh place in the zodiac. People born in Horse years are traditionally associated with confidence, independence, charisma, and a love of adventure. The galloping mare and foal featured on the reverse capture these qualities through movement and energy rather than symbolism alone.
Founded in 1899, The Perth Mint is Australia's oldest operating mint and one of the world's leading producers of precious metals bullion. Owned by the Government of Western Australia, the mint guarantees the weight and purity of every bullion product it issues. Its annual bullion collections, including the Lunar Series, Kookaburra, Koala, and Kangaroo programs, are recognized worldwide for combining investment-grade precious metals with annually changing designs.
