The 2026 1/10 oz Gold Lunar Horse BU Coin from the renowned Perth Mint of Australia. Struck from 1/10 troy ounce of .9999 fine (24k) gold, this Brilliant Uncirculated coin stands out as a highlight within the Perth Mint’s esteemed Lunar Series.

The Horse, the seventh animal in the Chinese Lunar calendar, is celebrated for its courage, independence, and charm. In Chinese legend, the horse earned its zodiac position through a noble performance in the Jade Emperor’s celestial race—despite being slowed by a snake’s unexpected interference. Those born in Horse years, including 2026, 2014, 2002, and earlier 12-year cycles, are traditionally admired for their energy, charisma, and adventurous nature.
