The obverse of the 2026 1 oz Gold Lunar Horse Coin includes the inaugural portrait of King Charles III found on Australian coins. Created by Dan Thorne for the Perth Mint, the design shows the monarch in left-profile relief without a crown.
Featured on the reverse of the 2026 Australian Gold Lunar Horse is an energetic stallion, rearing up on its back legs. The setting includes a mountainous grassy plain, enhancing the image of the horse with both front legs lifted high. This side includes a microscopic security element in the form of a letter that is only visible with the aid of magnification.
Modern celebrations of Horse years often include traditional decorations featuring horses, special foods, and cultural performances. Red is prominently featured as it represents good fortune, and horse imagery appears in everything from lanterns to clothing designs during these festive periods.
These 2026 1 oz Australian Gold Lunar Horse Coins are available in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The coins are all individually encapsulated, with multiples shipped in a sealed roll of 20 or a mint-strapped box of 100 coins. All boxes contain five rolls.
