Celebrate the tenth anniversary of The Perth Mint’s Chinese Myths and Legends series with the Dragon and Horse 2026 $1 1oz Silver Bullion Coin.

Struck from one Troy ounce of .9999 fine silver, this limited-mintage release unites two of the most powerful figures in Chinese mythology. The celestial dragon and spirited horse are depicted together in an intricately detailed design symbolising strength, vitality, ambition and good fortune.

With a maximum worldwide mintage of just 20,000 coins, a special P10 anniversary mintmark and presentation in an individual protective capsule, this release combines valuable silver content with considerable collector appeal.

A Powerful Mythological Pairing

In Chinese tradition, the dragon represents celestial authority, wisdom and auspicious energy. It is associated with power, prosperity and favourable fortune.

The horse embodies endurance, speed, vitality and an unyielding determination to move forward. It has long been viewed as a symbol of ambition, achievement and success through perseverance.

When depicted together, the dragon and horse represent the harmonious union of heavenly power and earthly determination. The pairing expresses the drive, strength and confidence required to accomplish great things.

Dragon and Horse Reverse Design

Created by Perth Mint artist Natasha Muhl, the reverse presents a dramatic meeting between the two legendary figures.

On the left, a majestic horse appears with its flowing mane and front hooves raised. On the right, a fierce Chinese dragon displays sharp claws, a winding serpentine body and traditional fish-like scales.

Stylised clouds fill the background, adding movement and atmosphere while reinforcing the dragon’s association with the heavens. The carefully balanced composition places the earthly strength of the horse opposite the celestial power of the dragon.

The 2026 year-date is incorporated into the design alongside The Perth Mint’s special P10 anniversary mintmark.

Special P10 Anniversary Mintmark

The P10 mintmark commemorates ten years of The Perth Mint’s Chinese Myths and Legends coin series.

Its inclusion distinguishes the 2026 Dragon and Horse from earlier releases and provides an additional commemorative feature for collectors assembling the complete series.

King Charles III Obverse

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

The uncrowned, left-facing portrait is accompanied by the monarch’s name, the issuing country and the coin’s monetary denomination of one Australian dollar.

The coin is Australian legal tender with its weight and purity guaranteed by The Perth Mint.

Micro-Laser Authentication Feature

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

This authentication detail is only detectable with the assistance of a magnifying glass. Its discreet placement makes the coin considerably more difficult to reproduce accurately while preserving the appearance of the artwork.

One Troy Ounce of .9999 Fine Silver

Each coin contains one Troy ounce of .9999 fine silver, representing a purity of 99.99%.

The combination of internationally recognised silver content, Perth Mint craftsmanship and detailed mythological artwork gives the coin appeal to bullion investors and collectors of Chinese-themed precious-metal releases.

Maximum Mintage of 20,000

The bullion edition has a maximum worldwide mintage of only 20,000 coins.

This is considerably lower than the mintages of many mainstream one-ounce bullion coins. Combined with the P10 anniversary mintmark and popular dragon imagery, the restricted production provides strong potential collector appeal.

The stated figure is the maximum authorised mintage rather than a guaranteed final declared production total.

Supplied in a Protective Capsule

Each coin is presented in an individual protective acrylic capsule.

The capsule helps protect the detailed bullion finish from fingerprints, handling marks and environmental exposure while allowing both sides of the coin to remain clearly visible.
