Silver Coin Lunar III Year of the Horse 2026 1/2 oz.

A new edition of the popular Lunar III coin series, issued by the renowned Perth Mint.

The Lunar III series of silver coins, minted by Australia's renowned Perth Mint, are among the most prized numismatic pieces. This prestigious collection draws inspiration from the Chinese lunar calendar, and each release impresses with its careful design and rich symbolism. The horse, which is the theme of this coin, symbolizes strength, independence and energy. People born in the Year of the Horse are often distinguished by their ambition, loyalty and optimistic approach to life. In Chinese tradition, the sign is also associated with perseverance and success, which is said to promote the achievement of goals and the overcoming of all obstacles.

The reverse of the coin depicts the left profile of King Charles III, facing left. Along the top edge of the coin are the inscription "CHARLES III" and "AUSTRALIA," and along the bottom edge are "1/2 oz 9999 Ag" and "50 CENTS." The obverse of the coin depicts two horses, an adult and a foal, running through a rocky landscape with a body of water visible in the background and grass in the foreground. Above them is a Chinese ideogram meaning "horse" (馬), and below it is the inscription "HORSE 2026." At the bottom of the coin, on the edge, is the mint mark: "P" (for The Perth Mint).
