Step into the rich tapestry of Chinese tradition with the 2026 $1 Australian Lunar Series III Year of the Horse 1oz Silver Proof Coin, a captivating nod to the horse’s legendary journey. According to lore, the emperor ordered a great race among Earth’s animals to determine the lunar calendar’s 12 positions, where the free-spirited horse galloped toward fifth place with fierce determination. Deceived by a snake wrapped around its hoof, causing a frightful lurch, the resilient horse still claimed seventh place. Limited to just 5,000 worldwide, this coin celebrates that tenacity with a stunning reverse by Ing Ing, featuring a majestic mare and her foal in a striking gallop, framed by towering mountains and lush grasslands.

Born under the Horse sign in years like 2026, 2014, 2002, or 1990, individuals are said to embody independence, charisma, and a love for adventure, gifted with natural charm and the ability to inspire. This 99.99% pure silver proof coin, adorned with the Chinese character for ‘Horse,’ the inscription ‘HORSE 2026,’ and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, shines with elegance. The obverse bears Dan Thorne’s effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, alongside details of its weight, fineness, and $1 denomination, making it a must-have for collectors and zodiac aficionados eager to own this spirited, limited-edition treasure!
