The Perth Mint 2026 Australian Lunar Series III Year of the Horse 1/10oz Platinum Bullion Coin is a landmark release from The Perth Mint, marking the first-ever 1/10oz platinum bullion coin in the highly acclaimed Australian Lunar Series III. Struck from 99.95% pure platinum, this limited mintage coin offers collectors and investors an opportunity to own a unique addition to one of the world’s most popular lunar bullion series.

The horse is the seventh animal in the Chinese lunar zodiac and is traditionally associated with strength, independence, confidence and adventure. Those born in the Year of the Horse—including 2026, 2014, 2002, 1990, and every twelfth preceding year—are believed to possess natural charisma, determination and an energetic spirit, making this coin an ideal gift or keepsake for those celebrating the zodiac sign.

The reverse features a magnificent horse with raised hooves, symbolising strength and poise against a backdrop of rolling grasslands and rugged mountain peaks. The design also includes the Chinese character for ‘Horse’, the inscription ‘HORSE 2026’, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.

The obverse bears the official Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, together with the coin’s weight, fineness and monetary denomination, confirming its status as Australian legal tender.

With a strict maximum mintage of only 15,000 coins worldwide, this historic first release is expected to be highly sought after by Lunar Series collectors, platinum investors and anyone looking to add a distinctive precious metal coin to their collection.

Each coin is presented in a protective acrylic capsule, ensuring it arrives ready for display or long-term storage.
