---

The Year of the Horse comes to life in the 2026 release of the Australian Lunar Series III. Struck from one troy ounce of highly pure 0.9999 fine silver, this legal tender one dollar coin is issued by the Australian government and showcases a striking blend of precious metals. The coin features selective twenty-four karat gold gilding, which highlights the central design with a brilliant contrast against the silver background. On the reverse, a stylized horse is depicted alongside the Chinese character representing the animal. This side of the coin, created by designer Ing Ing Jong, also bears the inscription "HORSE 2026" and the traditional "P" mint mark, representing the Perth Mint. The limited mintage for this gilded edition is set at 25,000 pieces. The obverse features the official effigy of King Charles III, designed by Dan Thorne. Surrounding the portrait are the inscriptions denoting the issuing nation, "AUSTRALIA", the face value of "1 DOLLAR", and the weight and purity of "1oz 9999 Ag". This Brilliant Uncirculated release is presented in a protective box, offering a detailed look at modern Australian numismatic artistry.
