A Century of Craftsmanship Meets Zodiac Tradition Since 1915, GR Reserve has operated as a family-owned business, building over 100 years of refining expertise. Today, we proudly deliver that legacy to retail collectors. The 2026 Australia Lunar Series III – Year of the Horse 1/2 oz Silver Proof Coin honors the charm, strength, and independence of one of the most beloved animals in the Chinese zodiac. The Perth Mint strikes each coin with precision, combining cultural storytelling and exceptional silver craftsmanship.

Symbolism and Storytelling in Silver

Legend says the horse earned its place in the lunar calendar by finishing seventh in the emperor’s zodiac race. Because of this, people born in the Year of the Horse—including 2026, 2014, 2002, and 1990—often show charisma, independence, and a love for adventure. The reverse design shows a galloping mare beside her foal. Towering mountains and grasslands enhance the scene. Additionally, the Chinese character for “Horse,” the inscription “HORSE 2026,” and The Perth Mint’s “P” mintmark complete the artwork.

Royal Effigy and Technical Precision

The obverse features Dan Thorne’s effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, along with the coin’s weight, purity, and denomination. This proof coin contains 1/2 troy ounce of 99.99% pure silver. It measures 32.60 mm in diameter and stands 2.90 mm thick. The face value reads AUD 0.50. GR Reserve limits the mintage to 5,000 coins, releasing only 4,000 worldwide.
