Lunar Year of the Horse
Perth Mint’s Australian Lunar Series III collection continues the rich tradition of minting spectacular bullion coins by portraying animal themes from the Chinese lunar calendar. The reverse design changes each year based on the Chinese lunar calendar, and the 2026 reverse celebrates the Year of the Horse. Those born under the sign of the Chinese lunar horse in 2026, 2014, 2002, 1990, 1978 and every 12^th preceding year are said to be charismatic, independent and have a great love of adventure.

The Perth Mint Lunar Series
Known for their quality and collectability, The Perth Mint Lunar Series is a cornerstone of many precious metals portfolios, and is produced in silver, gold and platinum. The original lunar bullion series, these coins (beginning with the Series I launch in 1996) have become some of the most widely collected around the globe, as demand originated in Asia but spread to Europe and America as investors became exposed to the design and quality. In addition to the annual design change, many investors love that the coins’ select mintage limits create the potential for even greater investment return in the form of a numismatic premium appreciation. The 1 oz gold coins are limited to a mintage of 30,000 and the platinum are limited to just 5,000 coins today. This series is so popular, the 1 oz Gold and Silver Lunars are now instant sell-outs every year!
