Design of the gold Lunar III Year of the Horse 2026
Obverse
The 2026 design is dedicated to that year's Chinese zodiac sign: the horse. It depicts two galloping horses, symbolizing strength, freedom, and vitality. Above the design are the Chinese character for “horse,” the inscription Horse 2026, and The Perth Mint's “P” mint mark.
Reverse
The reverse side features the official portrait of King Charles III. Surrounding the portrait are his name, the face value of 15 Australian dollars, and the weight and purity.
The Perth Mint's Lunar Series
The Perth Mint introduced the Lunar Series in 1996 with the Lunar I series. This was followed by Lunar II (2008–2019) and, since 2020, the current Lunar III series. Each year, a different Chinese zodiac sign takes center stage, making the coins popular with collectors and investors worldwide.
Recent editions:
- 2024 – Year of the Dragon
- 2025 – Year of the Snake
- 2026 – Year of the Horse
The combination of high-quality gold and artistic design makes the Lunar series a fixture in the world of precious metals and numismatics.
Collectible value and potential
Previous Lunar coins, including the first Lunar I series, are now highly sought after and often trade at high premiums above the gold price. The 1/10 oz version of the Lunar III series offers an attractive opportunity to become part of this iconic series at a relatively low entry price.
Price chart

Investment score
A B-rating indicates products that are still widely recognized and tradable worldwide, often issued by reputable mints or refiners. However, the price per gram or spread is generally slightly higher compared to A-rated products. While still suitable for investment purposes, they are not the most cost-efficient option available.
Label informationProducts with an A-rating are among the most commonly traded and liquid options available. These coins and bars offer a strong balance between a competitive price per gram and a low spread, making them well-suited for investors who want to acquire physical gold or silver efficiently. Due to their global recognition, they are typically easy to buy and sell.
Een B-label staat voor producten die wereldwijd goed verhandelbaar zijn en afkomstig zijn van erkende munthuizen of raffinaderijen. De prijs per gram of de spread ligt echter doorgaans iets hoger dan bij A-label producten. Daarmee zijn ze nog steeds geschikt als belegging, maar minder optimaal voor wie puur kijkt naar kostenefficiëntie.
Products with a C-rating are primarily valued for their collectible characteristics. This may include limited editions, unique designs, or historical significance. As a result, their price is often less closely tied to the underlying metal value. These products are typically chosen by collectors rather than investors focused on efficiency.
