The 2026 Australia Lunar Series III Year of the Horse 1 Kilo Silver Coin with Gold Privy Mark is a breathtaking celebration of Chinese tradition and numismatic excellence. Struck from 1 kilo of 99.99% pure silver, this limited-edition release—capped at just 250 coins worldwide—features a 1-gram pure gold privy insert portraying the Chinese character for ‘Horse’. Its circular form and intricate design pay homage to centuries of lunar symbolism, making it a standout piece for collectors and investors alike.
According to ancient Chinese lore, the emperor once summoned a great race to determine the order of the zodiac. Each animal had to cross a fast-flowing river to earn its place. The free-spirited horse, determined to finish ahead of the dragon, galloped with unwavering resolve. However, just before the finish line, a snake coiled around its hoof, causing the horse to lurch back in surprise. Despite the setback, the horse secured seventh place—forever earning its spot in the lunar calendar.
Those born under the sign of the Horse—in 2026, 2014, 2002, 1990, and every twelfth year prior—are said to be independent, charismatic, and adventurous. They possess a natural charm and an inspiring spirit, making this coin a meaningful gift or personal keepsake.
The coin’s reverse, designed by Ing Ing Jong, features a coloured depiction of a galloping mare and her foal, set against a backdrop of towering mountains and lush grasslands. The obverse, crafted by Dan Thorne, completes the visual narrative with regal precision. Also included are the inscriptions ‘HORSE 2026’ and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
