The Australian 2026 Lunar Series III - Year of the Horse 99.99% Coloured Bullion Gold Coin 1/10oz is a refined celebration of strength, independence, and unyielding spirit, beautifully issued by The Perth Mint. As part of the highly acclaimed Lunar Series III, this coloured gold release honours the Horse — a symbol of vitality, freedom, and charisma in Chinese culture.

According to Chinese legend, the Jade Emperor staged a great race to determine the order of the zodiac animals. The horse, known for its free-spirited and resilient nature, claimed seventh place despite a surprise encounter with a serpent along the way. People born under the sign of the Horse, in 2026, 2014, 2002, 1990, and every twelfth year prior, are said to be independent, charismatic, and drawn to adventure.

The reverse of the coin showcases a magnificent rearing horse, its raised hooves symbolising strength and poise, set against a scenic backdrop of mountains and grasslands. The design is enhanced with vibrant colour application, bringing the majestic animal to life. The design also incorporates the Chinese character for "Horse" (馬), the inscription "HORSE 2026" and The Perth Mint’s "P" mintmark. The obverse features Dan Thorne’s effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, the King’s name “CHARLES III”, along with the coin’s weight, purity, metal content, face value and country of issue.

Struck from 1/10oz of 99.99% pure gold and with a strictly limited mintage of just 20,000 coins worldwide, this exquisite piece combines cultural meaning, artistic beauty, and enduring investment appeal.
