Product Details

Precision, Substance, and Technical Integrity

Struck from a full kilogram of 999.9 silver, this investment coin impresses with a remarkable physical presence. The generous diameter of 100.90 millimeters allows for an exceptionally detailed rendering of the design, while the Brilliant Uncirculated quality ensures crisp contours and an even surface finish. Each coin is produced under strictly controlled conditions at The Perth Mint, one of the most renowned mints in the world. Weight, fineness, and face value are executed with precision, underscoring its claim to authenticity and lasting value.

Design and Motif

Dynamism, Grace, and Narrative Depth

The Year of the Horse motif unfolds in a scene full of movement and harmony. A majestic mare gallops alongside her foal through a vast landscape shaped by gentle grasslands and powerful mountain ranges. Their flowing manes and poised posture convey energy, freedom, and protection all at once. Fine lines and differentiated surface textures create vivid light reflections that reveal new details depending on the viewing angle. The design is complemented by the Chinese character for “horse,” as well as the inscription HORSE 2026 and The Perth Mint’s traditional P mintmark.

The reverse features the portrait of King Charles III, conveying a calm and sovereign presence.

Historical and Cultural Background

The Horse as a Symbol of Freedom and Vital Energy

In Chinese culture, the horse has represented movement, endurance, and social advancement for thousands of years. As the seventh sign of the zodiac, it embodies drive, independence, and optimism. People born in the Year of the Horse are considered communicative, passionate, and freedom-loving. For decades, The Perth Mint’s Lunar Series has embraced this symbolism and translated it into a modern numismatic form that connects Eastern tradition with Western minting artistry. Lunar Series III continues this legacy with contemporary design and outstanding technical quality.
