2026 Australia Lunar Series III Year of the Horse 1/4 oz Gold BU Coin

2026 Australia Lunar Series III — Year of the Horse 1/4 oz Gold BU Coin

The 2026 Australia Lunar Series III Year of the Horse 1/4 oz Gold BU Coin celebrates one of the most spirited and admired animals in the Chinese zodiac. Struck by the Perth Mint from 1/4 troy ounce of .9999 pure gold, this brilliant uncirculated release combines ancient symbolism with exceptional Australian craftsmanship.

A Tribute to Strength and Freedom

According to Chinese legend, the emperor once held a grand race to determine the order of the twelve zodiac animals. The horse ran swiftly behind the dragon but was delayed when a snake coiled around its hoof. Still, it crossed the finish line in seventh place—symbolizing resilience, determination, and courage.

Those born under the sign of the Horse (2026, 2014, 2002, 1990, and every twelfth preceding year) are known for their independence and charisma. They seek adventure, embrace passion, and inspire others with their energetic nature. Because of these traits, the Horse stands as a symbol of freedom and confidence within Chinese culture.

Artistry and Design from The Perth Mint

The coin’s reverse depicts a powerful horse standing tall with its hooves raised in motion. Behind it, rolling grasslands and distant mountains create a tranquil landscape that complements the animal’s poise and strength. The design also includes the Chinese character for “Horse,” the inscription “HORSE 2026,” and the Perth Mint’s “P” mintmark.

On the obverse, the coin bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, along with its weight, purity, and monetary denomination. Each piece embodies the Perth Mint’s reputation for quality and precision.

Although no mintage limit applies to the 1/4 oz coin, production will close at the end of 2026, when the Mint will announce its official mintage. Collectors can expect enduring beauty, authenticity, and investment appeal in every coin.
