A true statement piece in the Perth Mint’s 2026 Lunar Series III collection, this 5oz silver coin showcases the artistry and symbolism of the Year of the Horse on an impressively large scale. Struck from 99.99% pure silver, the substantial size allows every fine detail of Ing Ing Jong’s design to shine with striking clarity, making it a centrepiece for both investors and discerning collectors.
The reverse portrays a spirited mare galloping with her foal, a dynamic composition symbolising vitality, freedom, and forward momentum. Accompanied by the Chinese character for “Horse”, the inscription HORSE 2026, and the Perth Mint’s “P” mintmark, the scene is elevated by the coin’s generous 5oz canvas. The obverse bears the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Dan Thorne, confirming its status as official Australian legal tender.
With its impressive weight and commanding presence, this 5oz release is particularly prized by collectors who value both scale and artistry, as well as investors seeking substantial exposure to silver in a limited annual mintage.
