Celebrate the 2026 Year of the Horse with the distinctive Year of the Horse 2026 1oz .9999 Fine Silver Rectangular Bullion Coin – Perth Mint.

Struck from 1 Troy Ounce of .9999 Fine Silver, this unusual legal tender issue combines the appearance of a minted silver bar with the status of an official Australian bullion coin.

Produced by the world-renowned Perth Mint, the rectangular format gives this release a completely different appearance from a conventional round Lunar coin whilst retaining the exceptional purity, craftsmanship and authentication technology for which Perth Mint bullion is recognised.

Year of the Horse Design

The reverse features a beautifully engraved Horse rearing with its front legs raised, its flowing mane creating a strong sense of movement across the rectangular silver surface.

The design incorporates:

• YEAR OF THE HORSE

• 2026 year-date

• Perth Mint's famous “P” mintmark

The artwork was created by Lucas Bowers and celebrates the Horse as the seventh animal of the Chinese zodiac.

In Chinese tradition, people born during Years of the Horse are often associated with independence, charisma, energy and a strong sense of adventure, giving the release additional appeal as a Lunar-themed gift as well as a bullion investment.

King Charles III Obverse

The obverse carries the official Australian coinage effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, designed by Dan Thorne.

Also included are details confirming the coin's:

• 1 Troy Ounce silver weight

• .9999 fineness

• $1 Australian denomination

Despite its rectangular bar-style appearance, this is therefore an official Australian legal tender coin, not simply a privately minted bullion bar.

Micro-Laser Authentication

Perth Mint has incorporated a discreet micro-laser engraved authentication feature into the reverse design.

The security element takes the form of a tiny engraved letter that can only be detected under magnification, adding an extra layer of protection against counterfeiting.

Limited Mintage of 300,000

Production is limited to a maximum worldwide mintage of 300,000 coins.

Although higher than many premium collector releases, this limit still provides defined production compared with unrestricted bullion issues and adds further interest for collectors building a complete range of Perth Mint Lunar rectangular coins.

Each coin contains 1 Troy Ounce of .9999 Fine Silver, with a minimum gross weight of 31.107 grams.

The rectangular coin measures approximately:

47.60mm × 27.60mm × 3.57mm.

Packaging

Perth Mint supplies individual examples in a clear protective plastic pouch, while bulk quantities are distributed in tamper-evident tubes containing 20 coins.

Packaging supplied by Everyday Bullion may therefore depend on how the original stock was received unless otherwise specified on the product listing.

Bullion & Collectable Condition Information

These coins are supplied in bullion condition.

As with other minted bullion products, minor contact marks, light scratches, handling marks or small production imperfections may occasionally be present.

These cosmetic characteristics do not affect the coin's stated 1 Troy Ounce silver content, .9999 purity or legal tender status.

Fine silver can also naturally develop toning over time depending on storage and environmental conditions.
