Mare & Foal Design – Lunar Series III (2026)
Obverse: Dan Thorne’s effigy of King Charles III with “CHARLES III,” “AUSTRALIA,” the denomination, and year.
Reverse: Designed by Perth Mint artist Ing Ing Jong, a majestic mare alongside her young foal in a galloping stance, with towering mountains and lush grasslands behind — symbolizing vitality, protection, and good fortune. Includes the Chinese character 马, “HORSE 2026,” the “P” mintmark, and a micro-engraved security feature. The large 5 oz format renders this detail at a scale impossible on smaller coins.
Investment & Collector Appeal
The 5 oz format is the statement piece of the Lunar Series III lineup — commanding in size and rich in silver content. Five troy ounces of .9999 fine silver in a single sovereign coin offers meaningful exposure plus the collectibility of an annual-release Lunar design and a production-close mintage confirmed only at year’s end.

Founded in 1899, The Perth Mint is Australia’s official bullion mint. The Australian Lunar Series — first launched in 1996 — is in its third 12-year cycle; the 2026 Year of the Horse is the seventh release in Lunar Series III.
