2026 Australia 1/2 oz Gold Lunar Horse BU (Series III)
The 2026 gold coin from the Australian Lunar Series III captures the spirit of the Year of the Horse with a striking and active reverse design. Struck by the Perth Mint, this half-ounce piece of 0.9999 fine gold showcases a horse with raised hooves set against a backdrop of rolling hills and grassy plains. The design also incorporates the Chinese character representing the horse, alongside the inscription "HORSE 2026" and the traditional "P" mint mark. On the obverse, the coin displays the official likeness of His Majesty King Charles III. Surrounding the royal portrait are details of the coin's weight, its high gold purity, and the face value of 50 Dollars. Backed by the Australian government, this brilliant uncirculated coin represents a yearly tradition where the reverse artwork changes to honor the animal of the Chinese lunar calendar.
