2026 AUS Year of the Horse 1 oz Silver Trio (SIII, w/Box & COA)

The Australian Lunar Series III continues its celebrated run in 2026 by honoring the Year of the Horse. This particular presentation brings together three distinct artistic expressions of the same theme, with each coin containing one troy ounce of highly pure 0.9999 fine silver. Backed by the Australian government as official legal tender, this trio has a remarkably limited release of only 1,500 sets worldwide. Within this three-coin set, observers can appreciate how different finishes transform a single design. The collection features a standard silver proof coin, a colorized silver proof version, and a gilded silver edition. The reverse of each coin showcases a horse, the Chinese character representing the animal, and the inscription "HORSE 2026" alongside the "P" mint mark of the Perth Mint. This side of the coin was created by designer Ing Ing Jong. The obverse of each coin bears the modern effigy of King Charles III, designed by Dan Thorne. Surrounding the portrait are inscriptions detailing the monarch's name, the issuing country, the face value of one dollar, and the weight and purity of the precious metal. Exploring this trio offers a detailed look at how modern minting techniques can present a single lunar symbol in three entirely different visual styles.
