2026 Perth Mint Lunar Horse 2oz Silver

Antiqued Coin.

 The 2026 Year of the Horse 2oz Silver Antiqued Coin is a powerful tribute to the seventh animal of the Chinese lunar calendar, combining traditional symbolism with exceptional minting craftsmanship.

Struck from 2oz of 99.99% pure silver and finished in a richly textured antiqued finish, this impressive release captures the free-spirited energy, resilience, and charisma associated with those born in the Year of the Horse.

According to Chinese tradition, the Jade Emperor called a Great Race to determine the order of the lunar zodiac. The horse, strong and determined, charged toward the finish line but was startled when the snake — concealed around its hoof — revealed itself at the last moment. Despite this dramatic setback, the resilient horse secured seventh place, earning its position in the lunar cycle.

The reverse design portrays a dynamic scene of galloping horses surging through splashing water, moving from the distant background into the foreground. The composition is framed by elegant ginkgo branches and leaves, symbolising endurance, vitality, and longevity. The antiqued finish enhances depth and contrast, giving the coin the appearance of an ancient artefact brought to life.

Those born under the Lunar Horse — including 2026, 2014, 2002, 1990, and every 12th preceding year — are said to be independent, energetic, adventurous, and naturally inspiring. This coin makes a meaningful keepsake for Lunar collectors and a striking centrepiece for any silver collection.

Each coin is securely housed in a presentation case and forms part of a limited mintage of just 1,888 coins worldwide, ensuring strong collector appeal.
