2026 Year of the Horse 1/2oz Coloured Silver Bullion Coin

Proof Quality 99.99% Pure Silver | The Perth Mint

Celebrate the spirit of the Lunar zodiac with the beautifully struck 2026 Year of the Horse Silver Coin from The Perth Mint. Crafted from 99.99% pure silver in proof quality, this stunning release honours the Horse — a symbol of independence, determination, and adventure in Chinese tradition.

According to legend, the emperor called a great race among all animals to determine their place in the lunar calendar. The horse galloped with strength and determination, ultimately securing seventh place after a dramatic twist involving the cunning snake. Those born in Horse years are believed to be charismatic, spirited, and inspiring.

The reverse design portrays a majestic mare and her foal in an elegant galloping stance, set against towering mountains and lush grasslands. The Chinese character for ‘Horse’, the inscription “HORSE 2026”, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark complete the striking design. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Dan Thorne, alongside weight, purity, and denomination.

Presented in official packaging with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity, this coin is a meaningful keepsake for collectors and a symbolic gift for those born under the sign of the Horse.
