Please note: These are on pre order, we expect stock to arrive within 1-2 weeks

The Perth Mint is proud to present these beautifully crafted gold bullion coins to celebrate the Year of the
Horse, the seventh of twelve animals associated with the ancient Chinese lunar calendar.

According to Chinese tradition, the emperor held a great race to determine who should occupy 12 positions in the lunar calendar. The free-spirited horse raced behind the dragon but was startled when a snake coiled around its hoof, causing a delay. Despite the setback, the resilient horse claimed seventh place with unyielding spirit.

Those born under the sign of the Chinese Lunar Horse in 2026, 2014, 2002, 1990 and every 12th preceding year
are said to be independent, charismatic and love a sense of adventure. Being passionate and spirited, they are
gifted with natural charm and an ability to inspire others.

The reverse of each coin portrays a magnificent horse with elevated hooves displaying strength and poise. The background includes an image of mountainous landscapes and grassland.

Included in the design is the Chinese character for ‘Horse’, the inscription ‘HORSE 2026’, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’
mintmark. The coin’s obverse bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, as well as the weight, fineness,
and the monetary denomination.

No mintage limit applies to the 10oz, 2oz, 1/2oz, 1/4oz, 1/10oz, and 1/20oz coins. However, production of these coins
will close at the end of 2026 when The Perth Mint will declare each coin’s official mintage. The Perth Mint will produce
no more than 30,000 1oz coins. Production will cease when the mintage is fully sold or at the end of the series,
whichever comes first. Due to the low mintage of the 1oz size it is highly sought-after and is sure to sell out fast.

AUTHENTICATION FEATURE
The reverse of the 1oz, 2oz and 10oz coins includes a security feature in the form of a micro-engraved letter within the design. Intended to make the coin significantly more difficult to counterfeit, it is only detectable under a magnifying glass.
