The series
One animal a year since 1996
In 1996 The Perth Mint became the first mint to release an Australian lunar programme, as it states. Each series follows the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac: Lunar I from 1996 to 2007, Lunar II from 2008 to 2019, Lunar III from 2020 to 2031.
Each year one animal is added, and the snake, the horse and the goat each have separate designs for gold and silver. The snake is the sixth animal of Lunar III, the horse the seventh, the goat the eighth.
Since the snake of 2025, the effigy side has shown King Charles III, portrayed by Dan Thorne.

The mint
The P of Perth
The Perth Mint was founded in a gold rush. In 1892 a find near Coolgardie set off Australia’s second great gold rush of the 19th century. Premier Sir John Forrest did not want the gold to leave Western Australia for processing and secured a branch of the Royal Mint in Perth.
On 20 June 1899 the first gold was processed and struck there, and The Perth Mint has operated continuously on the same site in East Perth ever since. The sovereigns from Perth carried a small P above the date.
The designs of the snake, the horse and the goat also bear a P, as The Perth Mint’s mintmark. Today it is owned by the State of Western Australia.
The finish
Three coins in one case
The set brings together three coins with the year’s silver design in a single case.
The three coins of 1 ounce each show the design in three ways: coloured, gilded and plain.

Artistic Design with Symbolic Power
The detailed depiction shows a magnificent mare with her playful foal in dynamic motion. Their elegantly flowing manes convey pure joie de vivre and freedom. In the background, imposing mountain ranges rise up, forming a fascinating contrast to the sweeping grasslands. The traditional Chinese character for "horse" as well as the inscription "HORSE 2026" lend the design additional cultural depth.
