The 2026 1 oz Australia Lunar Series III – Year of the Horse Silver Coloured BU Coin is a visually striking release from The Perth Mint, celebrating the seventh animal of the Chinese zodiac. Struck from one troy ounce of .9999 fine silver in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) quality, this coin features selective colour application that enhances the dynamic Lunar Horse design with added vibrancy and depth.
The reverse depicts a powerful horse in motion, symbolising strength, independence, and forward momentum — qualities traditionally associated with the Year of the Horse. The coloured finish adds a modern collectible element while preserving the series’ refined artistry. The obverse displays the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III.
