The gold bar is issued by The Perth Mint and is part of the popular Lunar III series, inspired by the Chinese zodiac. This series is known for its combination of investment value, craftsmanship, and symbolism.
The gold bar contains 1 troy ounce (31.1 grams) of pure gold. Measuring approximately 41.60 x 24.60 mm and with a standard thickness of 2.80 mm, the bar is compact and carefully finished. The maximum mintage is limited to 30,000 pieces, making this issue particularly attractive to both investors and collectors.
The design of the 1 troy ounce gold bar Lunar III Year of the Horse 2026
The reverse features a dynamic image of a galloping horse, the seventh animal in the Chinese zodiac. The horse symbolizes strength, energy, and perseverance and is associated with the years 2026, 2014, and 2002, among others. Below the motif are the inscription “HORSE” and the corresponding Chinese character. The background features a refined wavy pattern, characteristic of the Lunar III series. The design was developed by The Perth Mint's design team, including Lucas Bowers.
The obverse features The Perth Mint's round logo with the iconic swan and the text “THE PERTH MINT AUSTRALIA.” Below this is a rectangular field with the raised inscription “99.99% PURE GOLD 1 OUNCE.” The micro-wave pattern in the background also serves as an anti-counterfeiting feature.
Limited edition and delivered in unique packaging
The gold bar comes in a secure, red blister card with a decorative motif of flowering plum branches, traditionally associated with prosperity and resilience. The packaging is tamper-evident: when opened, the word “VOID” appears, making any tampering immediately visible. The back of the card lists the technical specifications and design details. Each bar is officially certified and LBMA-accredited by The Perth Mint.
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.
