Australian Lunar Series III | 3 × 1oz Silver Coins | 99.99% Pure Silver | Proof, Coloured & Gilded Editions
📖 Story / Theme – Year of the Horse
According to ancient Chinese legend, the Jade Emperor held a celestial race to determine the order of the zodiac animals.
The Horse galloped forward with strength and determination but was startled when the Snake emerged beneath its hoof, causing it to finish seventh in the lunar cycle.
People born under the Year of the Horse — including 2026, 2014, 2002, 1990, 1978, and earlier cycles — are believed to possess qualities of independence, passion, charisma, adventure, and natural leadership.
This three-coin collection celebrates the enduring symbolism of the Horse through multiple artistic interpretations showcasing the beauty and craftsmanship of Perth Mint Lunar coinage.
