The Perth Mint’s Lunar Series III continues its tribute to the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac. Each release in the series showcases a refreshed design representing a different animal. The mint distinguishes between its silver and gold coins by using separate artwork for each metal, typically featuring a pair of animals on the silver version, while gold coins focus on a single creature. Now, 2026 1/10 oz Australian Gold Lunar Horse Coins are available online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
In the obverse design of the 2026 1/10 oz Gold Lunar Horse Coin is the first official portrait of King Charles III used on Australian coinage. This left-profile bust was developed by Dan Thorne for the Perth Mint and shows His Majesty without a crown.
For the reverse of the 2026 Australian Gold Lunar Horse, you’ll find the image of a powerful stallion rearing back on its hind legs. The design features a horse with both front hooves in the air, placed within a grassy mountain landscape.
The concept of elemental influences adds complexity to Horse year interpretations. Wood Horses are considered creative and cooperative, Earth Horses are seen as reliable and methodical, Metal Horses are viewed as independent and strong-willed, Water Horses are thought to be adaptable and communicative, while Fire Horses carry special significance with their own unique characteristics.
These 2026 1/10 oz Australian Gold Lunar Horse Coins are available in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The 2026 1/10 oz Gold Horse has an unlimited mintage, with individual coins in plastic capsules and multiples sealed together in a roll of 20 coins.
