Celebrate the Year of the Horse with this special Dragon Privy Mark edition from The Perth Mint’s internationally acclaimed Australian Lunar Series III.

Struck from one troy ounce of 99.99% pure silver, this Australian legal-tender coin combines the energetic symbolism of the horse with an intricately rendered dragon privy mark. Created as an exclusive release with a strictly limited maximum mintage of 30,000 coins, it presents an appealing opportunity for lunar collectors, Perth Mint enthusiasts and precious-metal investors.

Each brand-new coin is supplied in a protective acrylic capsule.

Seventh Design in Australian Lunar Series III

The Australian Lunar Series III began with the Year of the Mouse in 2020 and continues the ancient Chinese lunar calendar through a new sequence of beautifully detailed precious-metal designs.

The horse is the seventh animal of the Chinese zodiac. People born during a Year of the Horse are traditionally considered independent, charismatic, adventurous and energetic, with a strong appreciation for freedom.

Recent Years of the Horse include 2026, 2014, 2002, 1990, 1978 and 1966.

Mare and Foal Reverse Design

The reverse portrays a majestic mare and her young foal galloping together through open grassland, with a mountainous landscape rising behind them.

The energetic scene reflects the freedom, strength and vitality traditionally associated with the horse while the mare and foal introduce a touching theme of family and companionship.

Also included are the Chinese character for “horse”, the inscription “HORSE 2026” and The Perth Mint’s traditional “P” mintmark.

Exclusive Dragon Privy Mark

A special privy mark depicts a Chinese dragon gripping a pearl in its claws.

Within Chinese culture, the dragon is a powerful symbol of prosperity, strength and good fortune, while the pearl traditionally represents wisdom and enlightenment. Its inclusion creates an especially auspicious combination alongside the energetic Year of the Horse design.

This Dragon Privy Mark edition was created by The Perth Mint as an exclusive Bullion Exchanges release and has a maximum worldwide mintage of only 30,000 coins.

King Charles III Obverse

The obverse bears Dan Thorne’s official effigy of His Majesty King Charles III.

Surrounding inscriptions identify the issuing country, monetary denomination, silver weight and purity, confirming the coin’s status as Australian legal tender with a face value of one Australian dollar.

Micro-Laser Authentication Feature

For additional security, the coin incorporates a micro-laser engraved authentication letter within the reverse design.

The tiny letter is intended to be visible only under magnification, providing an additional safeguard against counterfeiting without detracting from the principal artwork.

One Troy Ounce of 99.99% Pure Silver

Each coin is struck by The Perth Mint from one troy ounce of .9999 fine silver.

Its combination of investment-grade silver, official legal-tender status, limited mintage and distinctive privy mark gives the coin appeal to both bullion buyers and modern numismatic collectors.

Maximum Mintage of 30,000 Coins

Production of this special Dragon Privy Mark edition is limited to a maximum worldwide mintage of 30,000 coins.

This is substantially more limited than many standard bullion releases and may enhance its long-term collectable appeal, particularly among collectors assembling Perth Mint lunar or privy-mark collections.

Protective Capsule Presentation

Each individual coin is supplied in a fitted protective acrylic capsule.

The capsule helps protect the silver surface from handling, fingerprints and environmental exposure while allowing both sides of the coin to be viewed clearly.

Important Bullion Condition Information

This is a mass-produced bullion coin rather than a proof or individually hand-finished numismatic product.

Although supplied brand new in a protective capsule, minor production or contact marks may occasionally be present. Silver bullion products can also develop natural toning or small milk spots over time, while the protective capsule may display light storage or handling marks.

These characteristics do not affect the coin’s stated precious-metal content, purity or authenticity.
