Chinese Myths: Dragon and Horse 2026 Silver Coin, 1 oz, Proof

A prestigious investment piece from the Chinese Myths and Legends series

This exceptional work of numismatic art comes from the renowned Perth Mint in Australia and was issued as part of a globally popular series dedicated to Chinese mythology. This coin is struck from one troy ounce of pure, highest-grade silver, guaranteeing the highest quality of the metal. The coin has the status of legal tender in Australia with a face value of one dollar, and its condition is stunning, mint-fresh.

The highly dynamic reverse design depicts a tense and detailed clash between two powerful creatures from traditional Eastern beliefs: the Dragon and the Horse. The legendary dragon winds majestically through traditional Chinese clouds, representing authority, power, and good fortune. Facing it, a mighty horse rears up against a backdrop of foaming waves; in Chinese symbolism, it embodies freedom, steadfastness, and the pursuit of success. The composition on this side is completed by the year of issue, 2026, and a commemorative mint mark consisting of the letter P and the number ten, marking the tenth anniversary of this iconic bullion series.

On the obverse of the coin, meanwhile, is the official effigy of the British monarch, King Charles III, depicted in left profile. This portrait is the work of the acclaimed artist Daniel Thorne, as evidenced by the subtle initials placed at the base of the king’s neck. Surrounding the monarch’s image is a clear inscription stating the monarch’s name, the coin’s country of origin, and the precise technical specifications of the metal along with its face value. The combination of mystical symbolism, the highest silver fineness, and a limited mintage makes this coin an ideal addition both for diversifying an investment portfolio and for enriching an advanced numismatic collection.
