2026 Australia 1 oz Silver Lunar Year of the Horse BU
2026 Australia 1 oz Silver Lunar Year of the Horse BU
The year 2026 marks the arrival of the seventh animal in the twelve year zodiac cycle. This Australian silver dollar celebrates the Year of the Horse, specifically honoring the fire horse of Chinese elemental tradition. Struck from one ounce of 0.999 fine silver by the Royal Australian Mint, this piece combines ancient astrological traditions with contemporary minting artistry. On the reverse side, a dynamic horse gallops through a scattering of gingko leaves. This side of the coin also displays the inscription "YEAR OF THE HORSE" alongside the weight and silver purity of "1 oz 0.999 Ag". The design captures the energy and movement associated with this zodiac sign. Turning the coin over reveals a detailed obverse featuring the likeness of His Majesty King Charles III, a portrait created by sculptor Daniel Thorne. Surrounding the royal effigy is a unique lunar calendar wheel, which connects the modern monarch with the ancient zodiac cycle. The obverse inscriptions confirm the issuing country, the 2026 date, and the face value of 1 Dollar, all within a limited production run of 50,000 pieces.
