In the obverse design of the 2026 1 oz Silver Lunar Horse Coin, you will see King Charles III. This is the first-generation portrait used on Australian coins and other Commonwealth coinage across the Pacific region, created by Dan Thorne. The artwork shows His Majesty in left-profile relief, with no crown shown on the effigy.

On the reverse of the 2026 Australian Silver Lunar Horse Coin, the design features two horses racing along a riverbank. In Fire Horse-themed artwork, running horses are often used to represent drive, bold spirit, and constant motion tied to this zodiac sign. For this Lunar Series III release, the horses on the reverse have been enhanced with a thin layer of 24-karat gold, giving the scene added contrast against the silver background.

In Chinese astrology, the Fire Horse is linked with strong energy, passion, and the ability to spark change. Because this combination appears only once every 60 years, it is often viewed as especially memorable. Those born during a Fire Horse year are commonly said to be confident, independent, and comfortable taking the lead. With the fire element added, the horse’s natural enthusiasm is believed to become even more intense, creating personalities that are seen as ambitious, imaginative, and determined in pursuing their goals.

These 2026 1 oz Australian Silver Lunar Horse Coins ship in capsules and include a Certificate of Authenticity. Each coin features a gilded finish on the reverse, created with a thin layer of 24-karat gold over the lunar design elements.
