Celebrating the Chinese Year of the Horse, this 5 oz silver bullion lunar coin is minted by Australia’s Perth Mint in 0.9999 fine silver.

Newly issued for 2026, the Horse is the seventh of the twelve animals in the Chinese zodiac. People born in the Year of the Horse are energetic, independent, and charismatic, with a natural zest for life and a love for freedom.

The reverse of the 5 oz silver lunar coin features striking imagery of 2 Horses galloping in nature, with the Chinese character for Horse displayed in a contemporary style along with the year 2026.

The obverse of the coin features a Dan Thorne effigy of Australia’s monarch, His Majesty King Charles III, the coin’s weight and silver purity “5 oz 9999 Ag” as well as the monetary denomination.

The 5 oz silver bullion Lunar Year of the Horse coin is legal tender in Australia with a nominal face value of AUD 8.

The Perth Mint originally opened in 1899 as a branch mint of the Royal Mint of London, but is nowadays fully-owned by the Government of Western Australia. Government ownership means that you can be assured of the authenticity and quality of every bullion coin product that is produced by the Mint.

As an investment in pure silver, the 5 oz silver bullion Lunar Year of the Horse is a natural choice, and the high quality design and workmanship also make this coin suitable for collecting and gift giving.
