2026 1/10 oz Colorized Gold Lunar Horse BU Perth Mint
The 2026 1/10 oz Colorized Gold Lunar Horse Coin is a premium fractional gold issue from the renowned Perth Mint, struck from .9999 fine gold and has Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition and a colorized finish. This legal-tender coin carries a government-backed face value and contains 1/10 troy oz of pure gold, making it an accessible entry point into collectible gold bullion. As part of the highly popular Australian Lunar Series, this colorized release combines artistic excellence, cultural symbolism, and investment-grade gold, appealing to collectors and investors worldwide.
The Lunar Horse design is rooted in ancient Chinese tradition, which tells of a great race held by the Jade Emperor to determine the order of the twelve zodiac animals. The free-spirited Horse raced strongly behind the Dragon but was momentarily delayed when a Snake startled it by coiling around its hoof. Despite this setback, the resilient Horse finished seventh, symbolizing perseverance, strength, and unwavering spirit. In Chinese astrology, those born under the Year of the Horse—including 2026, 2014, 2002, 1990, and every twelfth year before—are believed to be independent, charismatic, adventurous, and naturally inspiring. These qualities are beautifully reflected in this coin’s dynamic and expressive design.
