The Year of the Horse is a time in the Chinese zodiac known for progress, energy, and determination. Those born under this sign are believed to share the Horses qualities of independence, quick thinking, and strength. In 2026, the Perth Mint honors this zodiac year with the release of the 2026 Proof Australian Lunar Horse 1 oz Gold Coin, now available at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Each 2026 Proof Australian Lunar Horse 1 oz Gold Coin comes in individual packaging from the Perth Mint. The coin arrives in a protective capsule inside a red display box with a Year of the Horsethemed outer shipper and includes a Certificate of Authenticity. Mintage for this proof coin is limited to 1,000.
Obverse
On the obverse of the 2026 Proof Australian Lunar Horse Gold Coin is King Charles IIIs official portrait. This left-profile design, created by Dan Thorne, now appears on Australian coins as well as other Commonwealth currencies. Inscriptions include CHARLES III, AUSTRALIA, 1 OZ 9999 AU, and 100 DOLLARS.
Reverse
The reverse of 2026 Proof Lunar Horse 1 oz Gold Coins shows a powerful horse standing on its hind legs. This image represents strength and elegance, qualities long celebrated in Chinese culture during the Year of the Horse. Inscriptions read HORSE, 2026, the P mint mark, and the Chinese symbol for the horse.
History
Year of the Horse celebrations often include colorful parades, horse-themed performances, and family gatherings featuring foods meant to bring success and progress for the year ahead. Dancers dressed in traditional costumes bring the Horses spirited energy to life through lively performances and music.
