2026 Australia Lunar Series III Year of the Horse 5 oz Silver BU Coin

2025 Australia Lunar Series III Year of the Horse 5 oz Silver BU Coin

A Majestic Tribute to Strength, Freedom, and Tradition.  Celebrate the Year of the Horse 2026 with this impressive 5 oz silver bullion coin from The Perth Mint’s highly regarded Lunar Series III. Struck from .9999 fine silver, this brilliant uncirculated coin honors the horse — the seventh sign in the Chinese lunar calendar and an enduring symbol of resilience and independence.

Inspired by Ancient Chinese Legend

According to tradition, the emperor held a great race to determine which animals would earn their place in the lunar zodiac. The spirited horse galloped just behind the dragon but was momentarily startled when a snake coiled around its hoof. Undeterred, the horse regained its stride and crossed the line in seventh place, reflecting a spirit of perseverance and grace.

Those born under the sign of the horse — in 2026, 2014, 2002, 1990 and every twelfth preceding year — are believed to be charismatic, adventurous, and naturally gifted at inspiring others.

Elegant Design and Authentic Details

The reverse design features a majestic mare and her foal captured mid-gallop, their flowing manes adding to the sense of motion and vitality. The background includes rolling grasslands and towering mountains, evoking harmony with nature.

Additionally, the design features the Chinese character for ‘Horse’, the inscription ‘HORSE 2026’, and The Perth Mint’s iconic ‘P’ mintmark. The obverse carries the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, along with the coin’s weight, purity, and denomination.

Limited Production and Added Security

No mintage limit applies to the 5 oz, 2 oz, 1/2 oz, and 1 kilo coins. Except for the 1 kilo size, production will officially close at the end of 2026, when The Perth Mint will confirm each coin’s final mintage. Meanwhile, the reverse includes a micro‑engraved letter, an advanced security feature visible only under magnification.
