The Perth Mint 2026 Year of the Horse 5oz Silver Bullion Coin is meticulously struck from 99.99% pure silver as part of the renowned Australian Lunar Series III. Celebrating the seventh animal in the lunar zodiac, this release honours the horse — a symbol of strength, freedom, and adventure. Those born in the Year of the Horse, including 2026, 2014, 2002, 1990 and every 12th preceding year, are said to possess natural charisma, passion, and an independent spirit.

The reverse design showcases a majestic mare with her young foal, both beautifully depicted in motion with flowing manes that capture the vitality and elegance of these revered creatures. The pair are set against a detailed background of mountains and open grasslands, evoking a sense of harmony and wild beauty. Also featured are the Chinese character for ‘Horse’, the inscription ‘HORSE 2026’, and The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark.

The obverse bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, together with the coin’s weight, fineness, and monetary denomination. To ensure authenticity, the reverse includes a micro-laser engraved letter, visible only under magnification. Each coin is presented in a protective acrylic capsule, maintaining its brilliant finish and collectible appeal.
