Information
1 troy ounce gold Lunar 2026 Year of the Horse
The Perth Mint's 1 troy ounce gold Lunar Year of the Horse 2026 is a prestigious coin in the world-renowned Lunar III series. Minted in 31.103 grams of pure gold of .9999 fineness, this coin represents both a solid investment in precious metal and an object of great cultural and collectible value.
Thanks to its combination of high purity, limited mintage, and annual theme, the gold Lunar series is one of the most sought-after collectible series in the world.
Design gold Lunar III Year of the Horse 2026
Obverse
The 2026 design is entirely dedicated to that year's Chinese zodiac sign: the horse. The coin depicts two powerful horses in full gallop, symbolizing vitality and independence. At the top is the Chinese character for “horse,” along with the text Horse 2026 and The Perth Mint's recognizable “P” mint mark.
Reverse
The reverse features the official portrait of King Charles III, surrounded by his name, the face value of 100 Australian dollars, and the weight and purity.
The Lunar Series from The Perth Mint
The Lunar series began in 1996 with the Lunar I series and continued with Lunar II (2008–2019). The current Lunar III series has been running since 2020, honoring a new Chinese zodiac sign each year. These annual issues have become true classics in the precious metals world.
Recent editions:
- 2024 – Year of the Dragon
- 2025 – Year of the Snake
- 2026 – Year of the Horse
The combination of artistic craftsmanship, high purity, and limited mintage makes the Lunar series a staple for collectors and investors worldwide.
Symbolism of the horse
In Chinese astrology, the horse represents strength, independence, and energy. These characteristics give the coin an extra cultural dimension that goes beyond its intrinsic gold value.
The 2026 gold Lunar coin thus embodies both financial security and symbolic meaning, a feature that makes this series particularly popular.
Collectible value and potential
The earlier Lunar I coins are highly sought after today and are often traded at substantial premiums above their gold value. This illustrates how valuable the series has proven to be over the years. For investors who are now entering the Lunar III series, this offers an attractive opportunity to expand their collection or make a solid investment.
