The 2026 Australia Lunar Series III – Year of the Horse 1/10 oz Gold Proof Coin honors one of the most spirited animals in the Chinese zodiac. Struck by The Perth Mint, this coin blends rich cultural heritage with the enduring value of fine gold.

The Story of the Horse in the Zodiac

According to Chinese tradition, the emperor called a great race to decide the 12 positions of the lunar calendar. The horse galloped toward the finish with speed and determination, chasing the fifth-placed dragon. However, a snake hidden around its hoof startled the horse, causing a brief stumble. Even so, the resilient animal crossed the line in seventh place. People born under the sign of the Horse—2026, 2014, 2002, 1990, and every 12th year prior—are said to be independent, adventurous, and charismatic, with a natural talent for inspiring others.
