2025 $1 Opal Year of the Horse – Lunar Series 1oz Silver Proof Coin Limited to just 6,000 pieces worldwide

This breathtaking release from The Perth Mint is the 2025 highlight of the Australian Opal Lunar Series. Struck from 1 oz of 99.99% pure silver in flawless proof quality, the coin features a central window of genuine Australian opal displaying a dynamic galloping horse in vivid, shifting colours of blue, pink, purple, and gold — a spectacular display of nature’s own “living colour”.

The reverse is framed by a classic Greek-key border with peonies and the inscription “YEAR OF THE HORSE” alongside the Chinese character 馬. The obverse carries the effigy of King Charles III with a radiant sunburst background.

Housed in a premium black presentation case with a clear acrylic lid and accompanied by a luxurious red-and-gold outer box, this is a standout piece for both Lunar collectors and opal enthusiasts.

A dazzling combination of precious metal, natural opal, and Lunar New Year tradition — perfect for collectors who want something truly special.
